Disc golfer throws 530ft hole in one

Professional disc golfer Kevin Jones produced a stunning 530-foot ace at a competition in Massachusetts. Jones managed to get it in with one throw, known as an ace, despite slipping as he released the disc. 'I might have to retire this thing,' said Jones as he held his prized disc in his hand

The headline on this video was updated on 29 September 2020 from frisbee thrower to disc golfer. The error was caused by a failure in an autofill function in the upload process but should have been spotted sooner. Sorry for that.

I love how his fall was more replayed than the actual score

Bro looked like he broke all the joints in his body 💀

Professional Disc Golfer Kevin Jones threw an incredible Ace during a fun practice round in advance of the upcoming MVP Open at Maple Hill in Leicester, Massachusetts. There, I did your job for you.

I saw this in a tiktok while recovering from surgery. I laughed so hard it felt like i ripped my stitches 😂 I'm glad he's ok, I think they edited the tiktok to include a cracking noise, it was like he turned and cracked every joint in his body, it took me out. I will never forgot that, i was holding my stomach and crying from laughing and wondering why the dr doesn't give medical clearance to watch tiktok videos 😅

[darrylevans]

I came here from tiktok. I thought he actually died.

Steals content and posts it without even knowing what the sport is called.

i’m so glad i actually saw this with audio because i thought at first this was some kind of actual rare form until i heard everyone’s reactions

[MarcusOania]

Professional disc golfer, not frisbee thrower

[gordedwards]

Had to search for this after seeing the short version with sound effects 😂. Glad to see he didn’t actually see his demise with that throw! 😅

[mekaqueenn]

Who else is here because they saw this on tiktok and thought he died 🙋‍♀️
Glad he’s ok lol 😂

Wet tee pads are extremely dangerous. He had what is called a 'foot fault' penalty on the slippery edge board. The brick pavers are the end line of the tee box, not the wooden perimeter. Insane ace. Stay safe Kevin, you are the coolest pro on tour. (The actual distance was closer to 475 ft because the basket position was shortened for this year's tournament, the MVP Open). He finished 20th, but he had been one of the favorites to win. He won the Pro Tour event the week before this. I think there were some lingering after effects from this fall. This dude is a well conditioned athlete, most mortals would be in the hospital.

Awesome throw, broken bones in the process.

It's hilarious if you pause it at the right moment as he's flopping.
