$320 cash
3 witnesses
Just before beginning league play on hole #13, I mentioned to my team-mate Brian Haight (may he rest in peace) that the ace pool was up to $320. I asked him if he wanted to split it should one of us get an ace. He said, "Sure." Two holes later, it paid off big time. (Two weeks later, after again asking if he wanted to split the ace pool, I aced Hole #6. This time there was only $36 in the pool.

Hole 16 at Oak Grove (Hahamongna Park) · Pasadena, CA
3/1977
3 witnesses
The first ace of my disc golf career came in March of 1977 on hole #16 (I think). The drive was downhill all the way. Using a Wham-O 119g, my throw skipped off the ground and jammed itself into the underside of the basket. After leaving CA in March of that year, I went back to playing Ultimate until 1999.
