Re: Your first Eagle...
Costa Mesa Golf Course in Orange County.
Happened to come in the best round I've ever had.
Par 4, 380 yds. Smoked driver down the middle and had 120 in. Big green w/ the pin in the back left. Pin was blind because of a big bunker w/ a tall lip and a downslope.
Hit my gap wedge flush and it looked pretty good. I was trying to land it just over the bunker and trickle it down toward the pin. I went exactly where I wanted it, but the back of the green was blind.
After the other guys hit, we made our way up there and I was so pissed bacause I couldn't find my ball. I figured it want over the green into some rough, but we couldn't find it. Finally, some old guy we were playing with found my ball in the cup.
Ended up coming to 17 2 under (I had never broke 80!)
I bogey the par 3 17 and double the par 5 18 for a 1 over 71 (par 70).
