Re: Your first Eagle...
Not that difficult, only had one.
280 par 4, uphill. Decent drive to middle of fairway, a soft wedge to the green about 70 out, one in my group said that looks good just after I hit it, and it was. Passing the next tee on the way to the green, I could just leave my golfbag there, didn't have to bring the putter. Nothing left to do for me on that hole than to pick up the ball from the cup and mind the flag for the rest.
Won a bottle of Fernet Branca, which I got about 6 months later as one of the sponsors, a golf magasine, went bankrupt. The importer of Fernet Branca had to wait 4-5 months to get the list of the eagles made due to the court had to finish the procedings after the bankruptsy.
