I had the same thing happen to me this year, but I was from 130 yards out and it dropped right in the cup. It was my first eagle and the ball sits on my dresser at home. It's a huge deal to me so you're not alone.

congrats! great way for the first.

I remember my first ... University of Michigan Junior Golf Camp .. 1991 .. been playing less than a year.

#18 at the time, now #9 .. but then it was a par 5 downhill tee shot, 2nd shot over water. 3 wood to about 3 feet, made it.

I will never forget my first eagle, neither will my playing partners. It was a handicapped four-man best ball tournament. It was a short par 4 (275), drove the green and made the 2.5 footer. Got a net zero on the hole for our group. Another guy birdied it for a net one. We did finish first.

congrats! That is still a goal of mine. I have only had one op to get it on a very short par five. But I had a long put and missed my line and rolled 1 foot long. havn't had much since then =/ now it's on to try for more. I also like that you did it with style on the roll back that makes it all the sweeter.

Congrats! It's a great feeling to get that first eagle. I've only putted in a couple of eagles on short par fives. Par four and par three eagles, though, are actually rather rare.

I think there is one thing that the lower handicaps here aren't considering. When I typically play a round I have two-three holes with double bogey or higher. Bridies are really not that frequent for me, but I struggle off the tee box. When I hit it well off the tee is when I birdie, its almost guaranteed. Irons and putter are probably as good as any of the 9-10 handicappers I play with. Its just the short tee shots that add extra strokes and the three putts. Mix all that in, and Eagle and Birdie chances are a precious commodity.

Congrats on the eagle!

I remember my first and only eagle... was about 5 years ago when i was 17. Hit a terrible tee shot on the 8th which was a par 4 into the rough. Ball had a reasonable lie so a 5 iron, because of where my tee shot had landed i couldnt see the pin and didnt believe my mate wen he said it had dropped...

great feeling picking it out the cup!
