Cubby plays Night Disc Golf and gets Ace 224.

[corbo88]

224 is great, very respectable. I'm at 692 right now.

[DiscGolfer]

Congrats on 692!!!!!!!!! I am currently at 400. I have never ace'd twice with the same disc. 400 different discs all in my antique beveled glass cabinet with date, time course and hole# on them.

[twitchey93]

wheres the champion groove?

[DiscGolfer]

I had one but I ace'd with it.

[editfreek]

why dont you throw Glow Discs? Dont those things taped on there drastically effect the flight of the disc?

[DiscGolfer]

The taped lights really have no impact on the flight of the disc at night. They still Ace for me.

[Soppa77]

Way to go Cubby! Nice work on the DGM also, major props for all the hard work!

[DiscGolfer]

Thanks! I really enjoy doing DGM as well as playing.

[whamo333]

wow lol i have been playing for like years but im olny 15 now so yaa never got an ace but i have hit pole and also basket :( lol

[DiscGolfer]

One of the greatest Ball Golfers, Ben Hogan, never got a Hole in One in Ball Golf and I have one ball golf hole in one but Ben is a much much much better ball golfer than me.

[ksouthwi]

hey cubby.

i was playing a solo round the other day at sedgley before doubles was starting.

on hole 18 (239 from blue) i through two terrible drives.

i decided to throw one more drive, and it went in.

my buddy (gunkel, you've played with him) says it's not an ace, since i threw 3 shots. it's the only one i have

should i count it?

[DiscGolfer]

Nothing wrong with you counting that as an Ace of r your own personal tracking. I would not have counted it playing in competition with Brian. Congrats!

[t3hsniper]

hah My friend thought those glow sticks(same fishing bobber kind) would work good for disc golf at night. Though the course we go to has a lot of forestation around the course and it's easy enough to lose a disc in the day. I wish I hadn't lost my very first disc(dx leapard) yesterday, not only that but 2 days after I bought it =(

[DiscGolfer]

Sorry to hear about the lost disc. Try the discs form blackjaxsports,com, they work great at night!

[gosher85]

wat driver putter and midrange do u suggest

[DiscGolfer]

Omega Super Soft Putter and Discraft FLX Buzzz

[Weezydropsthebomb]

224?? Wow, I've got 1! lol .. I'm very proud of it though.. How long have you been playing for to get that amount?

[DiscGolfer]

The first one is the best one! I started in 1998, got my first Ace 45 days after I started playing. My best years were 6 aces a year until 2005 (25), 2006 (111), 2007 (103), 2008 (79), 2009 (42 so far).

[Weezydropsthebomb]

That seems very impressive.. I've been playing since 06' but only in the summer and even then it's hard sometimes.. I was going to say, I think I got my first and only after about a couple months of playing.

[DiscGolfer]

:) Cool on your first Ace after a couple of months of playing. Keep in touch!

[starek08]

i am amazed very nice work.

[DiscGolfer]

Thanks!

[backanchorabstrakt]

whats your pdga rating

[DiscGolfer]

My membership is not current. 926ish

[t3hsniper]

WOW I would have completely lost track by now if I was you.

[DiscGolfer]

I have every Ace disc saved with the date time course and hole # on it. All 400 of them

[sherp2u]

Haha, lets take a still photo even though im alone...your amazing

[DiscGolfer]

Strike a pose.

[sometimesive1]

Nice ace, Oh Cubbed One.

[DiscGolfer]

Thanks :)

[GazeNtheBlueHaze]

speaking of finding disc, i found a dx wolf, and my friend found a dx roc both on back to back holes

[Serryien]

I just started this season. It's great. And the first disc i found, ended up being the first disc i lost. I've been looking everywhere for another, it was a KC Pro Gazelle.

Anyways, i usually play at Stoney Creek, where most holes are 300ft+. But i play'd at a new course and got my first ace, if it even counts..73ft. lol, threw my putterX. You think the Gazelle is a good disc? KC Pro. I can't find a new one anywhere :(

[DiscGolfer]

Speaking of KC PRO plastic, my favorite is a KC PRO Cheetah. Congrats on your first Ace, even the short ones count.

[amesballa]

my friend actually just recently found a real beat up gazelle...i just thought it was a funny coincidence...but trust me its real beat up u wont want it

[DiscGolfer]

Gazelle turns over for me.

[imprezanatic1]

do the night discs have lights built in them?

[imprezanatic1]

how do u have the energy to play at 2am?

[DiscGolfer]

Sometimes doing the things you love require the loss of sleep. As in any endeavor those that do it with passion can overcome many obstacles and take their game to a new level.

[imprezanatic1]

do the night discs have lights built in them?

[Smetzer9]

while playing today i found a champion beast in the shrubs

[DiscGolfer]

A great Disc.

[cricket3]

thats dedication

[DiscGolfer]

Thanks!

[bigchris0886]

Do you ever travel for tournaments? Dogwood classic at Shelby Forest in memphis coming up in may.. the 2 and 3rd. Hope to see you there if you can

[DiscGolfer]

Unfortunately with my job, I can't travel.  I have to play local recreational when ever I am not working which is usually when others are sleeping. Good luck in the tournament.

[DiamondDogg44]

I still can't believe you have this many aces, it's unreal. I can't even get one !! Love the videos, watched them all...Thanks Cub...:o)

[DiscGolfer]

ANyhting is possible if you want it and put the effort into it. It alos helps if you have a knack for it. Don't worry about aces, just have fun!

[damienbarber]

How do the lights effect the throwing of the disc? I would think it weighs it down quite a bit and changes the stability a lot. How much does it effect the ability to throw the disc?

I have seen lights specifically designed for disc golf discs at sports authority, but I just thought it would effect the disc too much.

[DiscGolfer]

The glow sticks I usw from walmart when placed on the disc have no effect as the glow stick is small and very lightweight. The lights that have some weight on them seem to make the disc more understable.

[phillipmichael22]

hey, is there anyway that you can go into more detail about how you are putting the lights on the disc, is that black tape on the top or bottom of the disc, and does the light affect the flight of the disc significantly?

[DiscGolfer]

I will try to put together a video soon on attaching a light to the disc for Night Dsic Golf. The black X you see on the disc is not tape, it is a black magic maker. A black X on the disc helps find it on the ground better at night. Having a light on the disc is not really noticable in effecting the flight of the disc.

[tripstix]

Ahh i wish my course had some light to it at night.i really want to see a indoor disc course made!

[DiscGolfer]

An indoor course would be cool!

[KnivaYoYO]

my first and longest ace was hole 1 pin placement a at endicott park,257 feet.ive never played night golf though.i played in 17 degrgee weather a couple of days ago,it had just iced a little so we got some crazy skips.this was at white birch park in hazelwood, mo. the only down side was slippery tee pads. i sunk a nice 30 foot bird and that was the high point of my game that day. but hey it was so cold me and four of my buddies had the whole course to ourselves.

[DiscGolfer]

Your first Ace sounds like a good one! Night Disc Golf is a blast. I'll bet it was fun to see the discs skipping off of the ice covered ground.

[KnivaYoYO]

yeah the skips were insanely long, and discs seem to fly differntly in cold weather its almost like the speed is increased.

[KnivaYoYO]

I'd love to toss a few w/ya if your ever in stl let me know. rcf endicott,jefferson barracks.

[DiscGolfer]

If I ever make my way out to STL, I will let you know!

[KnivaYoYO]

stl has some awesome courses.also if ur ever in kansas city water works is probably one of the coolest course ive played yet. keep rackin up those aces. what the longest ace u ever got?

[DiscGolfer]

I loved playing the KC courses at the 2003 Am Worlds. Water Works is a sweet course for sure. My longst Ace is around 260 feet although I threw it over 300 as I really had to swing it way right and it was a nice skip ace.

[dumbjum]

Hey Cubby, I am a big fan of yours and your videos and I was wondering if you could help me out.Lately when I have been going disc golfing when I throw my backhand shot my muscles around my shoulder have been hurting me and I was wondering if I have been doing somthing wrong or if you have any tips to help keep my shoulder from hurting.

Thanks for you help-- Dumbjum

[DiscGolfer]

Dunbjum, I am glad that you a big fan and enjoy the videos. Sorry to hear about your shoulder pain. Tough for me to identify what is causing the pain. You may want to check with a Doctor to see if there is someting physically wrong that is causing the pain from your backhand motion. I know some players that throw exclusively forehand because of issues like your throwing backhand.

[redzone24242424]

Wow!! it doesnt really matter where you play does it? what do you recommend in a disc??

[DiscGolfer]

I happen to like overstable discs. My favorite is the Champion Firebird.

[Jesse187TX]

careful with the firebird though, its VERY overstable and not recommended for beginners

[legolandproduction]

sweet nice one!!!!!!! i am 13 and i have got 102 aces and i have ben playn for like 1 year

[FAnchax]

what kind of discs do you use (brand, weights)?

[DiscGolfer]

Hi FAnchax, I like to use heavuer discs 175 isgrams is typical for my although I Putt with a 165 gram putter. I like Innova discs the best especially really overstable discs.

[tomthebutcher]

do you ever use mid-range discs or putters?

by the way, over 220 aces is amazing. keep up the good work!

[DiscGolfer]

I mainly use drivers even on approach shots. I only use a putter to putt. Recently I have been adding mid raange discs in my bag. Thanks for the kudos, currently at 301 :)

[Rapidrhino90]

got my first ace about a month ago and right after hit chain on the third hole from it. it feels great.

[DiscGolfer]

Congrats on getting your first Ace! What a feeling.

[Rastafarian1882]

btw Cubby I am a forehand/overhand dominant player, do you know any good pros/vids to watch that use a lot of forearm and overhead shots in their game? Thanks!

[DiscGolfer]

You might have to do a web search on that one.

[Rastafarian1882]

Got my first ace with a Discraft Comet this week... what a sweet feeling!

[DiscGolfer]

Way cool! Welcome to the club my friend. I love the comet and I know the special feeling you have for that first ace!

[Rastafarian1882]

Thanks! The ESP Comet is one of my favorite discs in my bag, take the line you put it on every time! I went through the chains on a long L2R drive yesterday with a Pulse, DAMN was that bitter sweet...

[DiscGolfer]

Sorry for the delay in responding. Sorry to hear that Pulse just missed holding the chains.

[ice252525]

A TRUE DISCGOLFER!

HOoah!

[DiscGolfer]

Thanks!

[alanafincham]

man you are awesome...i've only played 3 runs now, and i can not imagine getting an ace..maybe one of these days...i'm off to play with a buddy today at a place called white spruce park in brampton Ontario..maybe it's my lucky day.

[DiscGolfer]

Alan, Glad to hear that you are new to the sport and enjoying it.  Looking forward to hearing about your first ace. Have fun and play often.

[k8ai]

It must be nice having that officer's retirement coming in :-) All golfy, no worky!

[DiscGolfer]

2 kids in college, It's all worky and play disc olf when I should be sleepy.

[gydigh]

2:08am? In the rain? Wow! And I thought I had no life!!!...Just Kidding....I'm still waiting for my first ace ;)

[DiscGolfer]

Disc Golf in the rain at 2:08 is livin!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to hearing about your fist ace.

[hardcorextreme]

Sweet jesus you are balls deep for disc golf, but I am too. Do you know the rules for taping stuff on or putting stickers on a disc? I heard from somewhere that in the PDGA rules you are not allowed to stick anything on your disc.

[DiscGolfer]

Yes not putting things on a disc. But when you want to play disc golf at night and it is not a PDGA sactioned event, just do it and have fun :)

[michiganfan15243]

nice shot although we didnt really see it

[michiganfan15243]

great vid nice ace

[onepomofo]

[DiscGolfer]

Thanks for the kind words. I have not had the pleasure of playing in Wisconsin yet. Next time we ge t the chance to visit my Sister in law in Wisconsin I will bring my discs.

[dickbutkiss2]

208 AM, get some sleep Ha Ha ... hell of good idea w/ the taped glow-sticks on there, gonna have to tell my friends about that one... oh and nice ace!!

[DiscGolfer]

Thanks for the comment!

[discgolferfromaz]

once again cubby shows what disc golf is all about."whoever has the most fun wins".cubby should be an official disc golf ambassador. he would get my vote !! i am still looking forward to meeting you if you ever come to arizona , cubby.

[DiscGolfer]

Thanks for the kind words my friend! Disc Golf really is all about having fun. It's great be 48 and on the course feeling like I am 18. What a wonderful sport. I look forward to the day we get to throw some rounds together!

[Bonnaroo10klmf]

awesome cubby. me and my buddys just got back from a 4 day disc golf trip and it rained all four days. best trip ive ever been on

[DiscGolfer]

A four day Disc Golf trip, that's what I'm talkng about! Glad you had fun even in the rain.

[DiscGolfer]

THanks for the comment, glad to see someone was enjoying Disc Golf in the rain and mud.

[unclemercy]

regardless of what others wanna say about you, the game would only be that much better if everyone shared your enthusiasm for the sport. i mean, c'mon... glow rounds in the rain??!? who else is doing that... while filming... and runnin aces?? aha... it's the cubster, word up

[DiscGolfer]

Unclemercy, Thanks for your kind words. Passion for the game is what this blog is all about, nice for someone to recognize the true meaning of the blog. It's not about the Aces. The Aces are just a resuly of the passion I have for the sport. Just can't get enough of it. :) warm regards, Cubby

[mbmf1547]

i played in the same storm yesterday up here in CT. the tees were really muddy, but disc golf is great in any condition!
