first hole in one!

Posted by caseycarp April 15th, 2008. Discuss

Well I decided to go out today and play my first 18 holes of the new year. I played at Arthur O'Fisher park in Dayton. Its one of my favorite courses, I actually Played disc golf for my first time there, lost two of my friends discs in the water...he wasnt too happy. I have been playing for right about 7 years now and have never had a hole in one. At the beginning of the course I wasnt playing horrible, I play par 3 on all holes under 400ft. I was hitting all pars, and I come to the 7th hole throwing with the water about 30ft behind and to the left of the hole. I have been known to over throw the hole and get really close to swimming. I decided to play it safe today and just throw short, so I picked my disc, and I throw sidearm. I didnt put near the power I usually put into it but I snapped my wrist and put more spin than usual to make up for the lack of power. As soon as I released it I knew it was heading for the water...I was not happy, at the last second it snagged a little piece of a branch on the tree right before the water and it re-directed it just enough that is sliced right down into the basket!!!! My first hole in one ever...worst part, no one there to see it :(
