Double Eagle Anyone?

[shakespeare]

Hole 8 at my club. It's about a 260 yard par 4 if you play down the fairway. The smart way to play the hole is to hit a 200 yard shot down the fairway. It's a sharp dogleg left. Then hit a little pitch on the green and make your putt. If you go at the hole from the tee, it's about 220, but there is water in front and left of the hole with bunkers guarding the right side of the hole. Also, there are trees guarding a straight line to the hole from the box and trees before the hole and the water in front. It is a well-guarded risk/reward short par 4.

This kid on our high school golf team holed one yesterday for a double eagle. Man, I've played 700 rounds on the course, and the closest I've seen is about three feet.

This made me wonder...

Have you ever had a double eagle or witnessed one? Tell us about it.

Guy I know holed one at a local course's par four just a week or two ago here. The only double eagles I've ever seen have been on TV.

My Grandpa had a double eagle once.

3 wood. 255 yards.

I've got one...on Golden Tee.
I've hit onto some short par 4's (mostly executive courses) but never close enough to consider getting in the hole.

Close but no cigar. Had a three iron role over the lip, unded up a foot past. And yes, I made the putt...

thanks for reminding me, that there is still something to shoot for for me! After the hole-in-one this season my motivation level went down
But seriously - a few close calls on a short par 5 at my home course, but never got it. I've 8 hole-outs from the fairway on par 4's - can I trade them in for ONE double eagle?!?!?

I had a double eagle about 2 years ago. Arrowhead C.C. in Myrtle Beach, on the Waterway Nine, #4 Par 5 520 yards. Hit driver 7 iron aaannnnd .... it's in da hole!

I had a bad day at work and called my buddy. He said he couldn't go due to Daddy Duty. I talked him into bringing his 6 year old daughter and I brought my 2 year old daughter and we went out for a de-stressing nine. Followed it up with a Hole In One less than a month later. I've been a single digit capper since I was 14 yo and that so far as been my only HIO and only DE.
