Your first Eagle...

[ronbo1964]

Just happened across the Golf forum ... No idea when my first eagle was, but my best "eagle" moment was making an 8-footer on a par-5, then driving the fringe of the next hole, a par-4, and chipping in for back to back eagles ...

I've also seen, get this, a guy putting for double eagle ... 610-yd par 6 at my home course (really a par 5, though, but because of the setup, it'd be a DEFINITE 3-shot par 5) ... Club championship, this guy who, when playing with the pro, drove our 435-yd par 4, goes over the pond on this par 6 drive (never seen anyone do that) ... Then, from about 250, hits an 5-wood into the smack dab middle of the green ... 40-footer for "double-eagle" ends up 20 feet short ... Eagle putt 10 feet short, birdie putt 5 feet past ... Nice par putt, though ... I hit 5-wood, 5-wood, 8-iron, two putt for bidie and pick up a stroke on him LOL ...

I've played for 25 years, have tons of eagles, but not THE one I want (hole-in-one) ... Never will ...

320 yard par 4 dogleg right, I hit 3w off the tee about 220, to the left rough, leaving about 105. Hit 52* and hole it out. Witnessed by the ranger and the cart girl, too.

160 yd Par 3, I was in 8th grade and we were having golf practice for the junior high team after school. I was a terrible golfer back then and still am not that great but I hit a perfect shot towards the pin, hit right on the fringe and rolled into the hole. The best thing about it was that I probably had about 10 witnesses because it was on hole #3 at my home course which is right in front of the clubhouse. My first and only eagle as of now.

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.

I can't remember. I've had quite a few. I do remember by first eagle on a par 4. That was playing alone on my home course in CA and dunking it from about 120 yards out. Was exciting and yet depressing because nobody was there to see it.

How about this for a Par 5 story. My first and only Birdie after hitting my tee-shot in the water.

Not a very long Par 5 I think about 470. Water all the way down the right hand side with the fairway sloping towards the water. Hit a good drive, but it fades right into the water. Drop and have about 200 yards in. Over water still btw. Hit a 4-iron about 6 feet from the hole and make the putt. As I'm walking off the green I realize, [censored]!, if I hadn't hit my tee-shot in the water that would have been an eagle!

Jeffersonville Golf Club #16 Par 4, about 400, drive was perfect, and a chip in from 50, it was the loudest, i ever heard a ball drop in. Awesome.

Bittersweet Golf Club... Fathers Day 2003 with the old man.

Drive 300 down the middle, five iron from 205 misses right, hits cart path, flop a wedge over a bunker land on green and watch ball turn 12 feet right to left, slows as is approaches pin and drops with maybe one roll left in it.

Eagle was cool, having Dad there was better.

Driver to 150, 7 iron into middle of hole on par 4.

I got my first hole in one about 2 months ago. Pin in the very back, 215 yards, into the wind.......blade 5 wood skips in rough 3 times while slicing, rolls too fast, hits the pin hard, goes in. ship it. And i had probably hit the pin/lipped out about 10 holes in one and then that is my first. Also, I was using a lady precept.
