First Eagle !!!

[kregan]

I shot my first eagle today on a par 5 !!! Tee shot to the edge of the fairway, then a 5 iron onto the green 3 feet from the cup, 1 put for eagle.

I shot a 42 on the front 9 then messed up and shot a 48 on the back nine for a 90. 2 penalties on the back 9 cost me a sub 90 round. I also lipped at least 5 putts today and left one hanging on the edge!

I just realized on the 9th hole par 5 I shot a 8, If I had shot par I would have been at 39 for the front nine!

My handicap just went down to a 23.5 from a 24.7.

Congratulations!

I also got my first eagle on a Par 5, except I holed out from the fairway on the #1 handicap hole.

Congrats on your Eagle. How long have you been playing?

Congratulations! I still don't have my first eagle. Missed by 4 inches last weekend. 481 yard par 5 went driver, 5+ wood and had a 25 yard chip with the 64* wedge. I didn't leave it short, but missed about 2 balls to the right. Same day I released a PW right by the hole to 2 feet on a 124 yard par 3. I think my first eagle is gonna be a hole in one. Hit a 7 iron on a 157 yard hole to 8" two weeks ago. I can smell it I'm so close. But you did it, and that's awesome.

Congarts or your eagle mate!
Havent bagged one myself, but ive always thought that the best eagles would be the ones on a par 5. Seems alot more rewarding to hit 3 consecutive good shots, than 2, or even 1 with a poor drive or a par 4.
A par 4 eagle always seems lucky, more than skilled.

Thanks guys,

I started middle of last year with a borrowed set of clubs on vacation. I then purchased a set had a few lessons and started play a lot this year. I posted the round from yesterday in my scorecard below.
