First Eagle - 10 Year Anniversary


This memory came up on FB. 10 years ago I had my first eagle. I remember it vividly. My drive was pulled left into the rough behind a fairway bunker on #16. I hit a decent shot out of the spinach that landed short of the green and rolled on. I saw the ball disappear and assumed it rolled of the back. I looked for it for a few minutes and was getting mad when a thought formed in my head. Maybe... just maybe. Sure enough, it was in the bottom of the hole.

You really should just pitch the whole IT thing and become a golf coach.

Not a half bad idea. IT isn't much fun anymore because of all the government regulations.

Nicely done!  Personally, I'm looking forward to the 10 year anniversary of my first eagle.  It is at least ten years away.

I had to smile at the, "was getting mad when a thought formed in my head. Maybe... just maybe. Sure enough, it was in the bottom of the hole." An almost exact re-cap of my feelings and thought process on one of my hole-in-ones.  I was looking around over the green until I decided, maybe ...
