[matt brenner]

My hands are still shaking.

[mofo313]

Landed my first ace today on #8--pretty happy with the decision to try out the weekly for the first time today.

Is it true I have to bring a keg next week?  Might be tough to carry it on MUNI but duty calls I guess.

[crosstoby]

Hey Mofo---

Give me a call; I've got your ace pool winnings---

Ty Gott - hole # 11A on 8/12/07

disc - hot pink star TL

Members in group: Pat Walsh, Jeff David & Orion Sylvester

A great shot from right to left and the disc stuck in the basket.

We heard chears from groups at 12 & 15.  Awesome

Thanks Ty.

O

[crosstoby]

Nice one, Ty--I will have your ace pool at the next weekly, or you can call me at 510-760-3287 if you're going to be out at the course mid-week.

Jon Toby

[dantarango]

I was on 12 and the Ace on 11a was fabulous.  What a great shot!! congrats!!

[gkolcun]

My group was putting on 16 when Ty hit this one...great spot to watch a great ace.  Congrats!

[jeremiah]

Niko Devries smashed an ace on 10b this sunday.  Small payout, but killer ace.  He was directing pedestrians away from the fairway due to the hippiefest, or whatever it was that brought a million tye-dyed Jerry-atrics tromping through tourney on sunday, sprinted back, grabbed a disc, and hurried to throw before the fairway was overrun by the dazed and confused again.  No skip, bounce, or even ever a question of if it was going in.  This is the third time someone in my group has aced 10b.  I'm not playing this hole with other people anymore.  It's getting too expensive.

[Orion]

nice post Jeremiah.  Props to Niko for the Ace.

[gkolcun]

Ditto to Jeremiah's post.  It was an awesome one to watch.  Niko followed up his performance by hitting the pin with his drive on 14.  When you're on....

[Niko]

I've been throwing a disc for about 15 years and this is my first ace!  yaaahoooooo!  

Star TeeRex

[dantarango]

Niko, congratulations,  I wish I was there, it must have been spectacular.  And with crowd control.  Awesome!!

[blaise]

Congrats on the Ace, Niko!  Now I wish I would have braved the labor day bridge closure so I could have witnessed it myself.

[Niko]

I know there have been aces since mine..

One I have to give a shout and mad props for is Aurelius Lewicki's back to back aces.  Two weeks in a row on hole 9 in tourney play... Wow!

Who Else is out there and not getting listed?  Call them out!
