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 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.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
