My First Disc Golf Ace!??

A few months ago I hit a 150-200′ ace in a tournament.. but I don’t think it counts because it was an Ace Race tournament.

This evening I hit a 200′ ace from an actual tee-pad to a permanent basket.. but I don’t think it counts because I was in solo-practice mode.

So what qualifies as a legit-respected-actual Ace? I think these are no-brainers:

It’s an Ace if..

1. Thrown during final round of World Championship Tournament
2. Thrown during any round of World Championship Tournament
3. Thrown and a World Champion sees it and says it’s an ace
4. Thrown during any organized disc golf event (tournament, bag tag challenge, doubles) with witnesses.. and majority agree it’s an ace (except an Ace Race)
5. Thrown during a disorganized disc golf event.. but dginnelly, dfeldberg or jburns say it’s an ace (even an Ace Race)
6. Thrown immediately after declaring “Im gonna hit this” and then hit it at 200’+ (but you only get one “im gonna hit this” per 24 hour period).

Here’s why my aces were not aces..

• First non-ace was during an Ace Race
  • it was a short course
  • it wasn’t necessarily unique.. aces are the whole point of the Ace Race.
• Second ace (today’s race)
  • Although I hit the non-ace on the first attempt, I was in rec/practice mode.. throwing a few drives/putts on every hole
  • No one was there to see it.. not even a spectator
