Eagles?

[Parker0065]

I got my first eagle of the season today! YAHOO!!!

Totally unexpected, I had a tough chip from a side slope. I had to play it out about 15 feet to the left of the hole and it fed down the slope right into the cup!

[CG031]

Only had 1 eagle. Came in July of 2007. Hit a decent drive off the tee, ripped a 3-wood to 5 feet and sunk the putt...all while it was almost dark (8:15 at night, haha.)

But, I was playing to about a 25 handicap then...so hopefully more eagles start to come this summer.

[LeftyInRochester]

None so far, but I'm not a long ball hitter. Poked my drive about 260, hit the 3 wood 220 to the fringe, and missed the 30-foot putt by about a foot. It's the easiest hole on the course, so I hope to get it this year.

[ApocG10]

nope, I've had 4 eagle putts this year, and didnt make any of them. And now because of a foot injury, i wont get another chance until at least the beginning of August. Not fun.

I've got 2 so far this season, both hole outs on par 5s. I'm scoring a lot more birdies and eagles by laying up than going for them from 220+.

[msd3075]

I don't kow how many I've had, but I put down "9+" because I know it's at least that many. I know I've had 2 eagles on a par 4 (drove the green on both and sank the putt), and I know I usualy have 2-3 eagles per year on par 5's.

[CarlSpackler]

I've been close (inches) but no cigar.

[pjsnyc]

Sadly I have none so far :(
But I really do think I'm getting close - I'm making more birdies now than ever before (maybe 1 or 2 every 5 rounds) and my short game is starting to hit the flag stick (or drop in!...for bogey :P). Its only a matter of time!

[Lefty3]

I've made 2 eagles so far this year. I've blown about 5 other chances though. Never had the pleasure of making an ace, or dropping one into the cup with an iron.

[AmenCorner]

First person in the zero group. I hope I'm not alone.

A buddy of mine is a solid 8 and has never had one. It will happen!

[blcorn80]

Three for me. Ace on a 148 yd. par 3 and a holed-out bunker shot from about 20 yds. on a 530 yd. par 5. Never made an eagle putt, though.

[NotAStick]

Heh. I've had 50+, I think, but I've been playing for a long time.

I had one this week, holed from 110 or so on a 450 yard Par 4. Very pleasing.

I have clanked it off the pin TWICE for doulbe-eagle as well. Both tap-in eagles weren't as satisfying knowing how close I was to that bigger bird. One of those times was on the 17th hole at Cherry Hills Country Club (you know, the island-green par 5 where Ben Hogan lost the 1960 US Open to Arnold Palmer).

That's probably the best eagle I've ever had. A tap-in on a 560 yard hole with an island green and more history on a square inch of the green than most entire courses.

Cool thread.

I got my first Eagle last Friday! It was on a par 5

[DavidFehertysBike]

Ive eagled par 5's and driveable par 4's multiple times. But i didnt get my first hole-out eagle until just about a month ago.

[right handed phil mickelson]

My only eagle is a hole out eagle. I haven't been fortunate enough to get one on a par 5 yet.

[flopdarock]

got one yesterday...
i feel i was vindicated with an eagle cuz this hole has swallowed literally dozens of my golfballs... its usually my rounds daily blowup hole...
539 par5 #14 its a slicers nightmare with water all along the right side from tee to green and beyond...
3rd shot from 77 out with my 52* made a ballmark 5 inches past the hole on the left and backed right in rattling the flagstick...
my brother got on the green in 2 and i thought for sure he'd have a much better eagle opportunity and ended up 3 putting for par... w00t

[jaragon126]

I don't know the total number for me ... I'm guessing 2-4 perhaps.

Just had my last one on Friday ... about a 470 yard par 5. Driver off the tee, then a rare perfect 210 yard 3 iron to about 6 feet of the pin. Was great to finish off a pretty un-stellar round with an eagle!

[wrx_junki]

I'm still in search of my first eagle... Missed a 15 footer for an eagle few weeks ago.
