I have had 4 total eagles.

2 hole in ones and 2 on par fives. Harding Park has a a sign near the putting green stating that a player has eagled every hole at Harding Park, pretty amazing feat.

I've had 3, all since December 07. Two have been on the same hole; 518 yard par-5 that's usually downhill - both times solid drive, hyrbid to the green and @10ft putt. The other on a par-4 that is @ 300 yards, again plays downwind so very driveable. The green is surrounded by greens (5 in total) managed to drive pin high on the fringes and made a 20footer for the eagle. One little point to note is that on one of the rounds I got an eagle a few holes later my wife also got an eagle, she made a 3 footer after two brilliant shots on a par-5.

One on a par 5, but I've missed a bunch of reasonable putts for others, including one last night. This number will be increasing shortly.

Lost track of that a long time ago. It would be measured in dozens.
I have eagled 3 pars 3s. That has another name.
I've holed out from the fairway on par 4s at least ten times.
Over the course of the years, I've reached enough reachable par 5s to defy my limited remaining memory.

That's five decades of golf.
It doesn't mean I don't usually stink the place up since I burned up my nerves out with booze.

Holed out for eagle once from about 75 yards w/ a 3/4 sand wedge from the rough...but I had a flier lie. it hit the flag stick after 2 hops and dropped in
3 weeks ago I was chipping for eagle. downhill lie. i tried to just tap a 7 iron like a putt down to the hole. They asked if I wanted the flag in. I said yup. I over hit the ball..it took a bounce.hit the flag stick about 1 foot above..it dropped down onto the edge of the cup and after a LONG 3 seconds...dropped in.
other than those, there's a short par 5 at the hacker course in jersey called Hendrick's Field. it's like a 470 dogleg left. I've eagled on it 3 times...but it's like really easy to get on in 2 and the greens are so crappy with weeds and bare spots on it...that getting out with a birdie's an accomplishment.

my number is up in the 20's to 30's .. i've lost track.

last one was 2 years ago, which was about 7 rounds ago in the tournament I'm playing this weekend (shows how much I've played in the last 2 years!)

I had a plug in my driver to lengthen it to 46 inches, it broke loose on the 9th hole so I hit 3 wood all day on the back.

520 yard par 5 .. 3 wood / 3 wood to 5 feet.

I've holed out from the fairway multiple times on par 4's and 5's ..

no hole in ones yet .. :( come very close numerous times ..

6 total. The funny thing is only one was on a par 5. The other 5 were short par 4's. The par 4's all came in a two year stretch about 10 years ago. The first was a pitch in when I missed the green to the left on a 295 yard hole. The other 4 were on putts at the same course, Heather Highlands. 2 on the 290 yard 4th and 2 on the 289 yard 8th. I have had 2 chances this year on the same course. One on 4 and one on 7. I had a handfull of chances on the reachable par 5 18th at White Lake Oaks last year and a couple more this year.

I had one on a short par 4 last year, and it was a very charmed hole especially for my skill set.

Hit the drive well but not great, pulled out the 7 iron and landed it just over the sand trap on the green but I thought it went off for sure. Then I walked up looking for the ball and sure enough it was in the cup.

It hasn't happend since, but I keep trying.

I have had 4 total eagles.

Is that one player who has done it, or every hole has been eagled at least once? If it's one player, then I question the difficulty of the course. I've known some pretty good players can't come close to that even on an executive length course. For me, no idea of the exact number, but I know what holes I've eagled. It's just that some of them I've eagled several times, and I never bothered to keep track. I've had 2 aces, I've eagled one par 4 hole (400 yard uphill par 4), and 5 different par 5 holes. That includes all 4 of the par 5 holes on my home course several times, including one this year.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club? Team Play Page
    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
