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!

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
