I've never had a double eagle or ever witnessed one by a playing partner. A freind and my father in law are the only two people I personally know to ever record double eagles...both holed out their second shots on par 5's of over 200 yards.
Curious who've ever had one or seen one by a person they were playing with.....and was it a hole out second shot on a par 5 or a hole in one on a par 4??

You can talk to a slice, but a hook doesn't listen.

I almost saw one yesterday... my friend had 250 to the pin and the ball bounced once and we thought it went in. Got up there and it had flown and landed pin high and then rolled into the rough. Really good shot..

i've come within inches of an ace and albatross. i pulled my drive into the dirt on a downhill par 5 and was 115 yards out and knocked a 56 degree stiff to about 2 inches or so.

Two years ago I was playing with my buddies and one of them hit his second shot about 240yds downhill with one of his woods on a par 5 and holed it out. It was so cool to watch the ball roll across the green and go in the cup.

Never had one or seen one. Closest was at Biltmore in Coral Gables, a Donald Ross design. #11 is a par 5 dogleg left. Maybe 25 years ago I hit a nice long draw off the tee in perfect position. I'm generally terrible with fairway woods but somehow a 5 wood was flush. The pin was in the back right. My ball ended up 6 inches smack behind the hole. It's perfectly level back there so it must have been agonizingly close. My playing partners couldn't believe where it ended up. We stayed there for quite a while putting balls toward the hole from the same angle and nothing wanted to finish smack behind the hole without lipping out. Both shots were with Hogan persimmon.

Was playing with 2 kids. One just had one the club championship that day. Anyway he crushed his drive way through the fairway. It was a double dog leg tho so he just had a blind shot to the green. He took out his 6 iron but we thought he was going to go in the water behind the green. He ripped it but we couldnt c where the ball went. I played out the hole and when we got to the green we couldnt find the ball. We thought it definetly had gone in the water. I go to pull the flag out and the ball is in the hole. The ball mark was about a foot from the flag. It must have slammed into the flag and went in. It was nuts.

i drove a 270 yard par 4. Ball was about 20 feet past the pin so it had a chance.

Another close one was on a par 5. Had about 230 for my 2nd shot. Hit it thin and rolled on to the green and a few feet next to the pin.

Those have been my only close chances.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      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?

      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.
