It was the final United Flyers Of Sonoma (UFOS) weekly at the Steve Werner Memorial Disc Golf Course at Crane Creek in Rohnert Park, CA for 2012. I and another player, Brien, were the last to check-in. I had just talked Brien into playing his first weekly, he played the course often, but had been too intimidated to ever play in a weekly.
The buy-in was $7, $5 for payout, $1 to club and $1 for the ace pool. Brien only had $6 and was ok about not getting in on the ace pool cause he didn't think he would be hitting an ace anytime soon. Of course I told him that you can't be too sure so I paid his entry into the pool.
Low and behold he hit the ace on the last hole of the round, hole 18. The basket was owned by the person whom the course was named for, Steve Werner, whom we lost at the young age of 36, and were pretty convinced that Steve had something to do with Brien's first ace. As well as getting his first ever ace, Brien also bagged the $340 ace pool. Of course the after round beers were on him and he promptly paid back my $1. He now never misses paying into an ace pool whenever available.
Everytime I run into him on the course, we always relive that awesome moment in our disc golf lives.
