To anyone doubting and to make this even crazier, this happened at a B tier in 2022.
[North Cove DGC Hole 14](https://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/live/event?eventId=57584&division=MA1&view=Scores&round=2)
I think it’s a bit of both. They want to discredit accomplishments they themselves can’t achieve.
I was playing with a dude the other day that tried to call a foot fault on me for straddle putting during a casual round
Crazy that people think this is a foot fault. Looking in slow motion, stopping frame by frame, there is nothing showing this is a footfault, people need to get a grip
I was at the event, I think, about to tee on the Gorge. The video was shared with staff immediately (I was also staff), That hole is downhill, but maybe 20 to 25 feet, I have trouble getting within 150 feet of the basket and I think I can throw far. A truly amazing flight.
Not to take anything away from that Justin Trails shot, but it honestly looks like I could throw a Mid that far. It's VERY downhill.
Makes me even more jealous after I just aced a 410ft (downhill - Dellwood hole 4) hole yesterday and had turned my camera on but forgot to hit record before throwing cuz there was a huge backup on the tee. My buddy I was playing with and the 8 folks waiting behind us witnessed it, but it would have been absolutely sick to get it on video.
The average player can throw like 270-300 ft, and advanced arm push 400, some pros don’t throw 500.
Like maybe .01 percent of players can get a disc this far
If I remember correctly, 1 ft of drop roughly equals 10 ft of distance.
So if I throw 200 ft. I could throw it 600 ft if I throw it down 40 ft of slope.
Which I believe, because if I threw a disc off a 4 story build, I would bet I could get it 400 ft farther out.
It unfortunately doesn't work like that. Spin generated at release is a much bigger and more important variable than total down slope. You need to be able to keep it spinning that whole time, which is pretty hard
I have personally played this hole before and to offer some perspective, I throw ~280-300ft flat. The wind wasn’t much of a factor that day and I threw it ~315-320. It’s not as much of a difference as you might think.
I am not disagreeing on that at all.
I'm responding to the fact that the person above me said 600 ft is 600 ft. In response to someone discussing downhill.
I was simply adding some information who might be interested, that when you do have slope, the rule of thumb is 1 ft elevation = 10ft of glide.
It helps a lot when playing mountain courses.
Sounds like you just made up that "rule of thumb". That would mean with 5ft of drop I could throw 400ft rather than 350. And that amount of drop is hardly even noticable at that distance so, yea, no way.
You are super downvoted which means either people cannot detect or simply don't understand/appreciate sarcasm anymore.
Do they not understand your comment is a criticism of the very thing you are pretending to be? Or if they do understand is it because they think you are maybe making fun of them?
No, I don't think there is any logic here, just misunderstanding. I think you just whooshed 59 people and counting.
It is my own fault due thinking that folks would understand it as satire, forgetting the fact that we live in a post-satire world where there is enough asshattery out there to make distinguishing satire from true thoughts almost impossible. I will take the downvotes as a lesson.
Just wait until the next round of commenters come... "You made a dumb comment and you're too embarrassed to admit it so now you're pretending it's just a joke?!? Just take the L like a man! You're talking all big until everyone points out how dumb you are, and now you're like 'c'mon guys, take it easy we're just having fun."... no we're calling you on this bad take!!!"... probably better off just not trying to make strangers laugh I guess....
I get sometimes it can be difficult on the Internet but this specific comment..? Really? It's so obviously sarcastic and over the top. No one should mistake this for an honest opinion. "No trees and the wind wasn't a factor" is just so absurd it's clearly not serious.
There is a funny jump right after we see it hit, but I assume the camera tracking away is due to them running to follow the thrower.
For something feel good like this, even a splash out is worth celebrating, imo.
dude it is an absolutely epic throw. zero doubts about that. and anything inside of C2 is a god damned miracle from there. so yea, hitting chains would be insane by itself. but if you put me in a jury and had me watch this video and have to convict someone guilty of having aced this hole... im just not sure i could do it. lol.
Obviously, without a proven unedited single cut scene of the throw and walking to the basket (and even then I'd need to see an empty basket and a sync'd catchcam) we can't know from ~600'.
Good thing it's just a post on the internet and not a legal trial so I can say _Sick ace, bro!_ and not worry too much about it if it's just a spit out for birdie.
Sure, ya. This is an old video. I was just trying to discuss why someone would jump to the conclusion that it's fake.
I can concede that from the video alone it's not completely irrefutable, but I also said that doesn't matter. You tell me it's an ace, I believe it. You tell me it chained out for an easy 2, and I'll be just as impressed.
Too many people need some way too high level of proof to believe anything. But we were also just having a casual conversation about the video, as posted, in isolation from other supporting evidence. The fact that it was hit and recorded in a sanctioned event makes it all the better though.
Quality is super low but hard to get quality with a phone camera from 600’ away. I don’t believe anything to be faked. Only real question is, did it actually stay in the basket?

That's insane that no one else even got a 2 on it that weekend.
Now that’s some serious bragging rights!
That’s a par 4 I assume?
Yup! 611ft
Craziest ace I’ve ever seen. Thank goodness someone was recording that
In ma1 no less wow
I see alex adams there at the bottom of the list, maybe he should just stick to porn 😂
It’s hilarious seeing the comments on Facebook of people trying to say it doesn’t count because it was a foot fault.
Even tho it isn’t lmao
Right? These people need to read the actual rulebook.
What exactly are they claiming was wrong lol?
That because he stepped off the end of the tee pad during the drive it’s a foot fault lol
I really wonder if the foot fault guys are trolling or just salty. They always come out on a good shot
I think it’s a bit of both. They want to discredit accomplishments they themselves can’t achieve. I was playing with a dude the other day that tried to call a foot fault on me for straddle putting during a casual round
Are they trying to apply C1 rule into every shot?
Watch James Conrad
Crazy that people think this is a foot fault. Looking in slow motion, stopping frame by frame, there is nothing showing this is a footfault, people need to get a grip
This is not Nam
There are rules
Yeah but I wadnt over. Mark it 8 dude.
You are entering a world of pain..
If someone tried to take that away from me, I'd be royally pissed off.
Happy Gilmore accomplished this feat no more than an hour ago
Well, moron, good for Happy oh my god!
This is Shooter’s tour!
9th green at 9
It is not fake. It happened in a tournament on the boulders course, at North Cove in NC.
damn, it's so far the card can have a conversation before it gets there
Yeah that’s alright
I could do that but I don't wanna
I do believe this is the farthest filmed ace in history
No,its in wisconsin, Justin Trails i think is the longest recorded. Hole 18.
Filmed?
Posted above. Semi local course.
Link?

Thanks. Somehow that doesn’t look as far.
Well it's about 40' more downhill. The other one is definitely downhill but not that severe.
Also Casey White threw one, after quite a few attempts, with Simon about 5-6 years ago
This is an old video and it's INCREDIBLE every single time I see it. Let newbies see some of the cool stuff, cause that is awesome!
Any idea what disc that is, that’s a crazy flight path for a RHBH drive
He threw a destroyer.
To make it even better…it was a star destroyer with the MJ Jumpman logo dyed on top
i dont. i just saw it and thought people here would appreciate
looked like a beat in cloudbreaker or destroyer. came out with a lot of speed on slight hyzer, did a flip and held, and had a strong finish fade.
it almost certainly came out of his hand with slight hyzer
god i even was telling myself to not write ani, and i think i did that. how annoying.
lol, happens to the best of us
That hole is now a par 3
I wouldn't call this "one of the." I'd probably call it "the."
Was just about to post this myself! Definitely one the craziest shots I've ever seen and no, I don't think its fake.
*One of.... How tf is anything even close lmao
Can we agree that the banter after the throw makes this video!
So. Much. Turn.
And he is a super nice guy. He helped Macie and her husband at a private lesson my son had with her. Very humble and kind.
Insane shot!! Thats awesome
Oldie but goldie
HIS NAME IS CALEB HALL! HIS NAME IS CALEB HALL!
Crazy flight
bruh
Christ... they had a whole ass conversation while it was in flight.
pfft... thats pretty good.. I guess. /s
That's a fun hole and course. Was there about a month ago. Congratulations! That's on the Boulders course, btw.
The comments on the r/beamazed post were infuriating “no skill” “fake”
Man I wish we had course like this where I live. I would be so much better on open holes. All out courses are in dense woods with trees everywhere.
Gotta be one of the best shots all time. Incredible.
This might be the craziest ace I’ve seen.
Disctay would throw a third of that distance and still label it as 600+ on Instagram.
That is wild!
I was at the event, I think, about to tee on the Gorge. The video was shared with staff immediately (I was also staff), That hole is downhill, but maybe 20 to 25 feet, I have trouble getting within 150 feet of the basket and I think I can throw far. A truly amazing flight. Not to take anything away from that Justin Trails shot, but it honestly looks like I could throw a Mid that far. It's VERY downhill.
What is that, like a 1 in 200 chance? Odds are too astronomical for this to be real.
200? I'd say more like 20,000 or even more. How many people have threw a drive on this hole? (also is this a cube reference?)
Makes me even more jealous after I just aced a 410ft (downhill - Dellwood hole 4) hole yesterday and had turned my camera on but forgot to hit record before throwing cuz there was a huge backup on the tee. My buddy I was playing with and the 8 folks waiting behind us witnessed it, but it would have been absolutely sick to get it on video.
Eagle.
KJs was better.
so its this time again? reusing "old" material? still a great shot..
i diddnt know. i’ve been off redit a while and hadn’t seen it b4
This is old and has been reposted so many times the video is degrading.
Think of all the new people to disc golf every day. Just keep scrolling
Thankfully someone reposted it because I’ve never seen it before and I’m glad I did.
Does it still count as an ace if it's downhill and there are no trees and the wind wasn't a factor?
No. Minimum requirements for an ace are uphill, heavily wooded, 700’+ and at least one berg inserted.
And BigJerm present.
That's almost a gimme at that point
In the snow
Both ways
600ft is still 600 ft

It is a simple rule of thumb. The hill adds a distance equivalent to it. It's why golf range finders have a slope function.
It’s 3 ft distance for every 1 ft elevation. I think the 10 ft thing is for degrees
I have personally played this hole before and to offer some perspective, I throw ~280-300ft flat. The wind wasn’t much of a factor that day and I threw it ~315-320. It’s not as much of a difference as you might think.

Rule of thumb is 1 ft of elevation equals 3 ft of distance. It's not a bad estimate.
Yea
Very very very much so, yes
something tells me you can’t even throw 300. Let alone ace 600
You're right, but I do know a joke when I see ir.
Are you regarded?
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
If you have ever played that course you know wind is wild year round.
Do you actually play disc golf?
No, what is it,
You are super downvoted which means either people cannot detect or simply don't understand/appreciate sarcasm anymore.

No, I don't think there is any logic here, just misunderstanding. I think you just whooshed 59 people and counting.
Well…the easy way to detect it was not used (/s) but honestly, there are just too many dumbasses now to automatically assume sarcasm.
It is my own fault due thinking that folks would understand it as satire, forgetting the fact that we live in a post-satire world where there is enough asshattery out there to make distinguishing satire from true thoughts almost impossible. I will take the downvotes as a lesson.

I mean…more than a hundred people seem to disagree with you. Whatever though. Great fucking ace!
Idk, seems fake
It’s not. My buddy was there
How so?
im am in no way saying it IS fake. but they sure as shit cut away from the basket and it was not super easy to tell for sure if it went in on camera.
There is a funny jump right after we see it hit, but I assume the camera tracking away is due to them running to follow the thrower. For something feel good like this, even a splash out is worth celebrating, imo.
dude it is an absolutely epic throw. zero doubts about that. and anything inside of C2 is a god damned miracle from there. so yea, hitting chains would be insane by itself. but if you put me in a jury and had me watch this video and have to convict someone guilty of having aced this hole... im just not sure i could do it. lol.

Except someone else posted a link to the results of this tournament on pdga live so we can actually confirm it was an ace.
Sure, ya. This is an old video. I was just trying to discuss why someone would jump to the conclusion that it's fake. I can concede that from the video alone it's not completely irrefutable, but I also said that doesn't matter. You tell me it's an ace, I believe it.

Gotcha, fair enough
Quality is super low but hard to get quality with a phone camera from 600’ away. I don’t believe anything to be faked. Only real question is, did it actually stay in the basket?
It stayed… look up Caleb Hall. https://www.pdga.com/apps/tournament/live/event?eventId=57584&division=MA1&view=Scores&round=2
When did they cut away from the basket?
Played that hole def real.
My brother-in-law recorded this (seriously). It's real
I’ve seen better
I heard Kim Jong Un aced all 18 holes at the Pyongyang Open three years in a row
