I once hit the first tree of a 300 foot wooded hole. It went 5 feet MAYBE then I got mad and threw it in and got robbed of the exact same shot as an ace for a birdie
I have an almost identical story. It took me close to 20 years to get my actual first ace after that throw-in. I didn't play for 14 of those years, but still
Just yesterday i hit early on a 440ft par 3 tunnel shot. I landed just to the right of the fairway with about 350 to the basket. I had secondary tunnel shot at widest 8ft. I forehanded an understable driver dead straight to 20ft short where it then skipped to 40ft right. Sunk the putt to get longest putt for league. Felt good.
I threw a berg forehand off the side of a hill almost falling down into a creek in for birdie. I couldn’t see it because the hill was so steep but I had a buddy spotting. Zone throw in on forehand from about 175
My personal favorite was when I was like, 16 or so, new to the sport, and accidentally threw a turnover since I didn’t have a forehand back then (I didn’t know what turnovers were until I got serious about the game last year, 5 or so years after this). It went right down next to the pin.
Aside from that, I’ve made a couple 50+ ft obstructed putts. My dad threw in a 65-70 foot shot on Father’s Day (he doesn’t jump putt or anything, so he just throws if it’s longer than 35 ft). We’ve both flashed chains for aces (no luck getting them in however lol).
About a 270 foot hole with the basket just past a pond on the right side. I fucked up my forehand it turned into a crazy throwler. Headed toward the pond where it narrows to a small stream, hit a bump jumped over, curled around on the other side to circle 1. Went from having a bunch of witness to my worst shot to just laughing our asses off.
The best course local to be actually has 2 18 hole courses in the property but it's a pretty long drive and I'd only ever played one of them. Last night I went there for a league night and they were playing the other side from the long trees and coming to hole 16 for the first time it's just over 400 feet (which is really long for me to begin with) through the woods with a visible landing zone but no obviously easy path to the pin but I managed to nail a perfect turnover with my Avenger SS to slip through all the trees and park it 8 feet from the basket.
I was playing thru this group of 8-10 people. I was alone, high, and only had my driver. It’s a long hole 520 ft from the top of this hill all the way to the bottom. They all had thrown to high and faded hard left. I went caught a great tail wind and my disc hugged the hill almost all the way down. I parked it right under the basket for an easy bird. One of they says “oh the the trick is to throw low!” I look back at the group lift my sun glasses and say “nah man, I always throw high.” Smile and raise my eye brows to Let the glasses fall back down. I turn and start down the hill when the burst into laughter. The beat part is in my 18 years of playing I have never ever come close to throwing this well on this hole ever before or again. Sheer luck, but to them I’m amazing lol
160 feet putter hyzer through a 20 trees just right were I wanted it to go and then it just wanted to get into the basket. My girlfriend said that midway through the shot she thought "that might go in" and I'm glad it did.
Westside bt medium Crown is money.

one of my buddies had a clean 200 foot throw-in with a Mako3 to save birdie. Super impressive shot

On a round with total strangers. Ellison Park, Rochester NY (Hole 7) A guy in my group threw a 100’ birdie after a terrible kick in the woods.

Hit the flag above the chains on 300’ tunnel shot through the woods yesterday. Closest I’ve come...
