Dang! One more rotation and it would have been mine.
Struck a killer 2nd shot with my hybrid and it just stuck right up next to the pin and I choked!
Oh well, next time! Felt good though for the first time.

I drove the green on a par 4 just yesterday. I continued to 3 putt for par.
So, don't feel too bad.

I did this about 2 months ago. I believe the distance was about the same maybe a 5 footer. I havent seen an eagle putt since.....

I missed a foot bogey putt on the 17th (par 3) in competition today, the only shot I didn't have any focus on and paid the price for it.

Here's a lesson kids, regardless of the apparent ease of the shot, give it your full attention and follow your pre shot routine religiously.

Ha, thanks guys.
Good way to look at it.
I've been on the green a few times for eagle, but so dang far away it never occured to me, basically knowing the chance for holing it was slim, but today, ahh shoulda, coulda, nada!
Felt good, that is for sure. Then the next hole par3, I drilled a 15 footer from the fringe, go figure. Ended up being a decent round of 44, but should have been a 43! :>)

I feel ya. I had a 10 foot putt for birdie. Somehow 3putted it and turned it into a bogey. Didnt know it was possible to 3 putt from 10 feet.

That sucks man. The other day I was on the 18th, a mid-range par 5. I hit my third shot from about 200 out just to just outside the fringe in the rough, about 10 feet from the pin. I proceeded to skull my chip, send it 60 feet from the pin, and 3 putt for a very frustrating double bogey!

I know what its like, I've had several 7 and 8 footers for eagle, all missed. Just had one my last round, a 5w from 224 out and I missed the 7 footer.

    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
