I am running the Ace Race here in Minnesota in March. Being that it is the first one out here, I am hoping to ride that interest as well. It looks like we are going to use the Patriot instead of the Rival. Considering the course we are using, the Patriot is likely going to be the better choice. The Rival seems to be better for parking shots with precision than necessarily taking ace runs from short distances. Either way, I really like my Rivals and look forward to getting my Patriots this week.
Yes, we'll need to change up the format of the ace run a bit, and make it more suitable for the disc. I'm going to start with 150'-200' shots, and then shorten after each round until somebody hits the ace. Was thinking about using a short 9-hole course we installed near downtown, but they took the baskets out for possible flooding, and there are perhaps too many used needles and fresh feces on the course (basically, the river is a giant camp for people hooked on Mexican tar heroin).
I got a pre-release gold sparkle Patriot in the mail yesterday...a beauty. Very flat top, and a bit steeper nose compared to the Eagle (although the PLH is similar). But I'm not going to throw this one, it's definitely a wall disc.
I love Legacy, I look forward to occupying more of my bag with their plastic this year!
