Eagles?

[Stacey_E]

No eagles here.

The closest I've came was 6" on a 124 yard down hill par 3 (pw) and 8" on a 157 yard par 3 (7 iron). So obviously no hole in ones either. I did once make a par on a par 5 after going O.B. off the tee. I went driver, 7 wood and hit what had to be a 75+ foot putt.

I did sink a putt for eagle in a 2 man scramble on a 525 yard par 5. My partner hit it 375 (way, way downhill) and 150 to about 3 feet. But hey, that 3 footer had 18" of break in it, and I putted first.

1 in 2008 on a par 5 with a 4 foot putt.

That's awesome... I was playing in a tournament once, and a guy in the group ahead of us made 5 on a par 5 with two separate penalty strokes

Eagles? Well, they used to be often, and everywhere. Now they seem to be a more endangered species. Or, maybe I am getting shorter.

Made 1 eagle when I was like 19. I'm 25 now, but I was out of golf for like 3 years until last year.

One of my last rounds last year, I hit a sweet drive slight draw into a 15 yard wide fairway. Had 215 to green, with a pond guarding the whole thing had to carry that. Hit a laser beam of a 5 wood right at the flag was probably about 3-5 feet away. As I'm walking up, it's about dark and the greens keeper comes out. He moves the cup from the spot it was, to the other side of the green turning my 3-5 footer into a double breaking 50-70 foot putt.

I was yelling at him telling him to wait, but he didn't pay attention to me and the guys in the club house were laughing about it. Thats my last real good shot at eagle, but this year is young. :)

i've had several... in fact, last year i had 5 rounds with 2 eagles. i usually play 6 rounds a week and will generally get 1-3 eagle per week. i've had 2 double eagles, those were pretty exciting. still would like to get that eagle on a par 3.. no aces here yet

1-3 eagles per week? i officially hate you :)

[Fredguay642]

I have made one. It was on a par five that the round before I hit the same two shots and missed my ten foot putt. So I made it the second time for eagle. It was awesome. But the thing that frustrates me is my little brother last summer had a fluke round and made 2 eagles in the same round. Now I am one behind.

Bite me...

[Doctorfro]

I am embarassed to say I've only made three. My 15 year old son has made three this year already.

9+ seems like a low number

I had more than 9. 2 years ago..... 3 in one day (lowest round ever). Depends on the courses you play I guess.

[Ian]

i realise now it is sort of a low number but i had no idea people were getting 50+ eagles i guess it depends how long you have played really.

[jermzkill]

never :(

you guys think eagle/hole in one is luck or skill? or combination of both.

[PiKapp23]

Over the last 5 years I've had 7 eagles. 3 on shot par 4's (in all cases I hit the green with drive and made putt) and 4 on par 5's (3 of which I reached in 2 and made putt, 1 was when I was just off and chipped in). I do not remember having any before the last 5 years, although I've been playing about 25 years now.

I'm not one of those other-worldly long hitters. The par 4's I've eagled have all been a little under 300 yards and I just hit perfect drives. The par 5's were all (except one) on shorter par 5's where I hit long drive and left myself a a reachable distance. The longest was about 560, but it was a dry day so ball ran a long way on drive and ran onto green from 20-30 yards short where the second shot actually hit.

I'm not in cnixon83's league, but I get a handful every year.

In 40+ years of golf, I have yet to even see a hole-in-one though. Go figure.....

[George]

Just one, on a par 4. It was 5% skill and 95% luck.
