Sam Lee Ace

Ace-ing is a habit for Sam Lee.

We posted a year ago to the day about Lee’s hole-in-one in Ashland, and now he’s back with another lefty ace at the Mid Summer Meltdown in Alabama.

Soblue captured Lee throwing a Prodigy 750G A3 on the 240-foot hole 5 during the final round. Lee would go on to finish third by one stroke.

Kona Panis Colten Montgomery In The Bag Proposal 

As 2020 Waco Annual Charity Open winner Colten Montgomery finished up a joint “In The Bag” video with partner and 2021 WACO champion Kona Panis, Montgomery pulled out one final disc with a special question.

“I actually think I’ve got one more, one of the most important discs in my bag, and I think to Kona,” started Montgomery, before going into a marriage proposal and dropping to a knee.

After accepting the proposal, Panis admitted she was not expecting to get engaged.

“I was like, ‘What do you mean? Those are all of your drivers,'” said Panis.

Ohn Scoggins has been playing PDGA-sanctioned events for more than a decade, and has top five finishes at Pro Worlds and Elite Series events in her resume. Scoggins is far from done in her career, however, and still finding ways to up her game.

Playing in the Conejo Disc Golf Pro/Am on Sunday in Thousand Oaks, California, Scoggins set a new career-high round rating, with a 15-under par showing at Rabbit Flat Disc Golf Course coming in as an unofficial 1050. Her previous career high round rating was 1015, set at the 2015 Phoenix Ladies Open. If the 1050 rating holds, she’ll be one of only a handful of women, along with Paige Pierce and Catrina Allen, to have an official 1050 in their rating detail.
