I have decided to write three separate recaps of our weekend tournament rounds.  So today I will recap our Acepot game.

Upon arriving at Lakewood I was bummed to see that there was a bike race going on.  It was taking up holes 8-11 which meant I would have to rework my plan for the course.  My hope had been to play the 9 holes with the most Ace possibility, but since the only hole any Roundbrand player had ever Aced was now off the board we had to improvise.

They had moved the basket on 18 off of the parking island so we decided to add that and then we decided to come back and play Hole 1 a second time.  So we had Holes 1-3, 5, short 6, 7, old 11, 18 and then 1 again.

It was sadly a meager showing as bridal showers, trips back east, work, house painting and hangovers took a lot of players out of the equation.  We did have the top Roundbrand Regulars there though, so we were sure to have a good game.

That was until we teed off on Hole 1.  All 5 of us went in to the trees.  Jonathan went out of bounds.  I took 4 putts to get into the stupid basket.  It was an ugly start to be sure.  By the time we got to Hole 5 everyone seemed to settle down and start making better shots.

After that we made our way over to the incredibly short tee pad to Hole 6.  Weaver was in the lead so he shot first.  He calmly tossed a backhand shot that curved smoothly to the right, bounced off of the ground and into the basket.

After much high fiving and hollering I informed him that the game was not over.  We all still had a chance to match his feat.  In fact, it was my turn.  All I remember thinking was that there was no reason to be conservative.  I took my Discraft Surge and went hard at the basket. It took the perfect fade at the last second as it hit the chains and stuck.  We had only the 2nd and 3rd Aces ever in Roundbrand play on back to back shots.

We played the rest of the round seeing Jonathan and Ethan net some birdies, but the Acepot was won.
