Eagles?

[max power]

I've had 9-which is more than someone at my level should. I've always had above-average length with the driver, plus decent with the 3 wood or hybrid from the fairway, so I've gotten lucky enough to reach in two quite a few times. 5 have been short putts, 1 hole out from 119, and a few long putts, including two from just off the fringe.

3 verifiable, 2 by myself.

Funny you should say "verifiable". I play quite a few rounds by myself and about a month ago I had a 2 foot eagle putt that I missed. I looked up during the stroke - like that guy having the perfect moment while driving his car then he thinks about what's for dinner - and I was sort of relieved to write down a 4 because nobody ever doubts a birdie. Is that weird?

I had two. Both within one month, a couple weeks ago.

One a legit par 5 eagle, on in two, putt was 8 feet, sunk.

2nd one was 2 weeks later, freakish pitch on a short par 4, in the hole.

1 for me from ,150 yards on a par 4.

2 attempts on par 5's this summer on 12-14 ft putts made birdie on both.

1 attempt on a par 4 -greenside chip from 30 feet, hit the drive like a champ, dinked the chip like a chump. ended up with a par, lessoned learned when you have a shot at eagle take the skirt off.

Never!!!!

[ks8829]

about 5 total, two hole in ones, one on a par 5 and another on a par 4 that I drove.

Been playing for a year and a half and have never had an eagle. I've only had three legit attempts at eagle though. One time I was on a Par 5 in two with about a 30ft. putt for eagle, the other two I was just in front of the green in two on my home course and had little pitch attempts at it.

Still working on the first one, a couple courses near me have some short, drivable par 4's, probably my best chance, some even possible to drive with less than driver even in the 245 yard range and I think they're really not even that far. Ive reached one par 5 in 2 and 2 putted that one for birdie and nearly chipped in once on another par 5 on my 3rd shot from about 25 yards out, got it to inside a foot. Maybe one day an eagle will come just not yet.

I've had a dozen or so eagle opportunities but have yet to sink the putt.

I made two eagles on the front nine last Saturday. Made a 40 yard pitch on the par 4 5th. Nine is a par 5 dogleg right. I hit a good drive and then cut a 3 wood from 262 around the tree line. I knew I hit it well but couldn't see the green. It was about 8 feet. Fun stuff.

I've had one in my life, it was like 9 years ago too.

It was Father's Day in '01, a Sunday. My father had passed away the year before, so I go golfing every father's day--sort of in memory of him, I guess. Anyway, I get to the 2nd hole, a straight par 4 that's not even 300 yards. I hit a horrible loopy slice out into the #7 f-way. I'm still like 170 yds away!!!! I hit a solid 5 iron, saw it bounce on the green, so I grabbed my golfbag and started walking. I get up there, I walk around the damn green for like 8 minutes (thankfully no one is behind me). . .Finally I hear a booming voice from the sky, kinda, "Look in the hole Bubba (my dad of course called me Bubba). And there it was. . .I couldn't believe it, it certainly was all luck and line pretty much.

Nowadays, I'm hitting par5 greens with 6 irons and the like, putting sometimes for eagle. Game has improved tenfold since 2001, but still, no eagle. I feel one coming though!!

I've hit 2 eagles. First was a hole out on the first hole from about 100 yards (followed by an OB drive on #2). Second was on the 14th hole which is a 530 narrow par 5 with water in front of the green. It was basically pitch black out and was going to the be the last hole of the day, or night I suppose. I crushed a driver that disappeared off the club face. I figured it went down the left side of the fairway and figured if i couldn't find it it was game over. I found it right where I thought it would be and why not, decided to go for it. I had to aim it out way right because of a tree protecting the left side and hook it. I nailed a hybrid, which I never saw, and felt I hooked it properly around the tree near the green. It wasn't on so i figured game over again. I found it right next to the green and proceeded to chip in from about 30 feet for the final hole. To this day it is maybe my favorite hole I've ever played.

Goose Egg :(

[shortys408]

holed a shot from 160 for eagle on a par 4.....best day of my life.

[Young_Phenom]

1 eagle similar to shortys408. 140 Out in a fairway bunker on a par 4, spun it back into the cup.

[purduegolfer]

2 in my life, 300 yard par 4 on the green in one and rolled one in, and a dog leg left par 5 where you can take off 70 yards if you go over the trees, still not the magical hole in one though. I'm still in my 20's so I've got plenty of time to get a few more.
