THE LADY is a fine golf ball actually. I heard one time from someone who probably is correct that is actually the exact same ball as a good nike ball with just a different label.

I don't mind using it at all b/c i have no real issues with my sexuality or anything, but still, am i supposed to like frame it and be like LADY PRECEPT HOLE IN 1?

First eagle was at a short Par 5 on my home course (420 or so, doglegs over water). Hit a drive to 180 or so out, stuck a 5 iron to about 3 feet and tapped in.

my one and only eagle is when i got a hole in one on a par 3. cool thing was that it was during a high school golf tournament and it was backed up a little bit so there were a lot of ppl watching me from behind the teebox. everyone went wild....good times.

A had a couple in high school, but this was my first as an "adult." Came about 10 years ago at Angel Park (Las Vegas), Mountain Course, No. 17.

Downwind from the blue tees. Hit two mediocre shots to about 95 yards. Holed a sand wedge. Probably the longest shot I've ever holed out.

#11 Pine Hills Golf Course Northeast Pa.

115 yard par 3 STRAIGHT down hill.

I scuff the tee shot it never leaves the ground. Rolls all the way down the hill hits the pin and goes in. Hole in One eagle.

I suck at golf and point out that I have a hole in one to all the donkeys who shoot 30's etc and never had one [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Congrats. God bless ya.

I played a league there several years ago (always on the back). Had a 39 average, and my stroke average on that stupid hole was the highest of any other hole. Only had 1 par on it all year. Talk about a hole having my number!!!

First eagle? 480 yd par 5. Downhill on a rock hard course. Driver-9 iron to 20 ft. In goes the putt.

I'm playing this course today, though I hate the mat they have set up on the tee box on that hole right now. I do have an eagle on every par five on that course.

I have been killing myself trying to remember my first one. I think it was nothing spectacular, something like driver, 5 wood into a par five and make the putt. Still no hole in ones though.

Garrison Golf Club, 1st hole, 367 yard par 4. Drove it into the right rough to about 140 yards. Got a 7-iron to fly over trouble and land on the green, then watched the ball funnel back down to the hole and drop.

My only other one was a hole in one. The closest I've ever come besides those is missing a 20-footer for eagle on a 450-yard par 5 (driver/5-wood to the green).

Don't remember my first real one (eagled a par 5 with a temp green, so it didn't play the full yardage for my first one).

Last weekend I drove it pin high with a 3 wood on a 315 yd par 4, then chipped it in. One before that was solid and one of the best holes I've played in a while--long 540 yd par 5 dogleg right. Perfect drive, still couldn't see the pin, shaped a beautiful 5-iron around the dogleg to 5 feet, drained it.

Finished that round birdie-eagle-birdie-par 3-3-3-3, definitely the best closing 5 holes of my life. (I'm a 4 hdcp.)

had my first one today. very short par 5, 441 yards straight ahead. hit driver, 4 iron to about 20 feet, then made a putt with about a 5 foot left to right break. Felt pretty good, then proceeded to shoot a 41 (ugh) with a birdie on the last hole. Lots of doubles in there
