Sorry... have to brag a little....

double eagle.. albatross.. whatever

Par 5 today. Hit a drive right down the middle... had 205 to the pin, with the wind slightly carrying it. I hit a 4 iron. It hit about 10 ft in front of the pin, bounced a few ft.. and rolled right in. Could see it disappear, but wasn't really sure if it went in or just behind the pin until I got a little closer.

Only had time to play 9. Finished with 1 bogey, 1 birdie, and 6 pars. 3 under. My best for 9.

Went to Ole Miss from 99-05. I don't think I can post my comments about State on this forum. :)

I admittedly haven't kept up with baseball much.. but I'd love to see them make it to Omaha. When I was last there in 05 we lost to Texas in 3 games in the SuperRegional.

I did get to go to the Egg Bowl this year. That was the absolute most dominating game I've ever seen for a defense. What'd State have? 35 total yards? :D (sorry.. gotta rub it in)

Rub it in alllllll you want. We were absolutely horrible. Things will eventually turn around somewhat though. They always do. I believe Mullen's spread is going to bring something good...but thats an entire different topic! We both know that State is horrible! I just had to watch basketball and just gave up on Football and Baseball! Ha. At least we went to a bowl a few years ago...even if it was in Memphis! This is my senior year here, so its not looking too strong that I get to go to another one! Maybe whichever law school I choose will win some games! ha.

Jealous.....My wife hit a hole in one 17 years ago. She holds it over my head. I've always said my goal would be to have the elusive double eagle to top that. Congrats. That's so killer.

I made a hole-in-one when I was 15, and another when I was 20 (I'm 28 now). My dad & I are pretty competitive when it comes to golf. We're about the same handicap, but he's never made a hole-in-one, and I've always teased him about that. Last year he made his first one. I told him he still had one to go. Then, about a month later, he made an eagle and a double eagle in the same round!! I think that evened it out! Talk about luck!!

Never had one... surely that tops a hole in one by a good margin. Well done and enjoy the rare feat.

      Yeah, watched Geoff Ogilvy's bit on Fried Egg about his conversation with some bogey golfer finding #2 most fun to play and the irony in it being so.  Makes sense.

      So, I think the idea behind it is that the ball is not perfectly smooth (obviously). So, on shorter putts, it is better to hit that point on the ball because it gets the ball into a better roll. You are not compressing the ball with a short putt, so it would act more similar to if you were hitting let's say a 100 sided dice. On longer putts, you might be compression the ball so more of the ball impacts the club face and then that single point doesn't matter.  It might be something he made up, could be a confidence thing, could be a legit thing. Maybe it matters more with how good the greens they putt on.  Also, we are talking about a single point here, and the putter face angle, path, ect.. will change a bit on each putt. So, it isn't like you are hitting that spot exactly in the same way.  Not sure it is worth the effort with so many variables in play.

      Looking at the aerial, there is very few holes were short is bad. You can always putt from off the green, so it makes the short game easier. I can see where the big number is out more often. It's not really a course where you can easily go low at either. The sand down there is super easy to play out of.

      Yeah, even Jamie doesn't really push (forward) with the right leg here, so I bumped on his use of that phrase/term early as well. They get away from it, though, and when they show the movements it's more obvious that's not what he's talking about. I sometimes wish there was a better term because, as you note, it often leads to people trying to actually "push" with their right leg.
