Listen to this radio broadcast announcing:

Brent Bell from Billings Montana

Heaves a 726 foot Ace.



(This day Brent's foursome was on 18 while my foursome was on 16, when suddenly cheers and hoots erupted from all across the course. This is what had just happened) Okay, imagine you are standing on the edge of a two hundred foot cliff and 186 feet below and 726 feet away is the 18th basket in the final round of the feared Diamond X Disc Golf Course in Billings Montana. The event? The 2002 Big Sky State Games- Montana's largest sporting event.

Imagine throwing a disc that zigs this way, then helixes that way. Finally it decides on a path which is gently swooshing towards that basket.. but as you know, anything can happen during 726 feet of flight. A gust this way, a draft that way. Yet on this day, forget that! At this tournament, with this disc, for this man, the flight stayed on a straight, true B-line all the way to it's destiny -as the new world record ace.

When it hit, there was obviously no bounce out, nor a glancing of the chains. No, when this disc hit, it swished around in the bottom of the basket a couple of times just to signal to everyone, that indeed it had made it to where everyone wanted to see it.

A little checking and (if no one argues..) there is no question that this 726 feet ace, is a new world record. And perhaps one that will last a very long, long time.

Pack your favorite discs and find some new Canadian friends! )





(4 time) Big Sky State Games Gold Medalist falls off this Diamond X cliff, and walks away with no injury! (Yeah!)

(I have personally peered over this ledge many times in search of a disc that fell over the edge, and when I do, I peer CAREFULLY!)
