Good news is, no school! Best news is, now snow shoveling! Bad news is, lots of branches down! Ice storm braking them like twigs. Will try and post some pictures if I can remember how.

Here are some pictures of the "new" hole 12.

Image

The city decided to pile snow and ice here this year. The wall is as wide as the fairway and about eleven feet tall. It starts about the middle of the fairway and goes all the way to the basket. I got a four on it yesterday. I did not know how close to the basket the "wall" was, so I just threw to clear it. Landed right on top of that sucka! Tried to lay up, but there is ice and water past the basket. Bad idea. Today I threw an anni over the left side and parred it easy. It is not a difficult hole, but it is fun, and it will be a lake soon. That water aint going anywhere fast!

Here is one from behind!

I was surprised to see this "wall" of ice when I picked up my disc from 11 basket and looked that direction! Could not believe my eyes! :shock:

I was playing a quick round this afternoon and hit an ace on hole #4 (short). Was a blast seeing the disc sail into the chains and stay there!

Good Job Don, That's a fun basket to ace. Is that your first one on that basket? What did you throw?

Hit an ace on hole #7 today! It was cool, cause it was really windy! I threw the ESP Buzzz a little left of the hole and it finished going a bit right, right into the chains! Bubba, Chad, and Corey saw it! Was great to hit a second one this week!

Hey it's been 4 days. Are you just slow in posting or are you finally in a slump. It's hard to come down after you've aced two baskets in 4 days isn't it? I still remember my first two aces. Back to back days. April 1st 2001- #16 in Hutch and April 2nd 2001 - #13 in Norton. Who in Kansas has the most aces in the shortest amount of time? I think a couple of people have had two in one day. Any with three in two days? My third one was two months after my first two.

It seems like I remember someone saying Babbit had two in one round during a tournament.
