Thought I'd share a pretty cool story.

I played in a two day fourball tourney this weekend which finished up mid-day yesterday. After the tourney I went to my dad's house for our yearly tradition of watching the US Open on Father's Day.

After the Open was over we were sitting around kind of bored and I suggested we go try to get 9 holes in before it got dark. He agreed so went to one of our local courses (Lone Tree GC in Antioch,CA).

I got to the 7th hole, which is a 496 yard par 5 with a blind tee shot over a big hump. If you can carry it 280, you can get over a 2nd hump, which runs down hill for about 75 yards or so. You can get your ball to sling shot pretty good if you manage to carry that 2nd hump.

Hole was playing with about a 10 MPH helping wind and I ended up hitting a lazer that carried the 2nd hump and took off. I had 136 in to a severly elevated green. Coming downwind to that eleveated green I knew I had to barely carry the front (120) to get it anywhere close.

I ended up hitting a dead hand PW right on the sweet spot tracking right at the pin.The ball landed about 3 ft on the green and it looked like it released to the hole. I knew it had to be pretty close.

My dad had a similar shot for his 4th from about 80 yds out and hit almost an identical shot to me. So we drive up to the green and there's one ball about 2 feet from the cup. No other ball to be seen. My dad says one of us has to be in the hole. We walk up the hole and wouldn't you know it...he was right!!! There she was, all snuggled up in the cup for a double eagle 2!!! My first ever and the only witness was my dad...on Father's Day!

Went to bed with a smile ear to ear and woke up this morning the same smile. Still can't get over what a cool day yesterday was!!!

Thanks for the correction...Albatross indeed!

I ended up shooting -4 (33 on a par 37) That's with hitting one OB on #1 to make double and missing a 4 footer for birdie on #3. Birdied # 4, and followed up the albatross on #7 with birdies on 8 and 9. #8 is a par 5 as well which I hit a 6 iron from 195 to 25 feet for eagle. I wanted so bad to follow it up with an eagle that I got a bit excited and ran it by 6 feet, but still made the come backer. +1 going into 7 and ended up shooting -4 three holes later. Easily the best 3 hole stretch of golf I've had.

Thanks Ben. It really is. My pops has been dealing with some health issues over the past few years so the signifigance of this kind of stuff isn't lost on me.

Funny thing is my only hole in one was when I was 15 trying to qualify for the Cal State Am and he was also there caddying for me. I really need to bring him everywhere I go!

Awesome day of golf, good on you and your dad!

Four eagle putts and you're an 18 handicap. Geez, I've had none and I'm about a 10.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

3 of them were on the same a hole, a hole im quite strong on, a par 5 I can get on in three quite easily.

The 4th was sheer luck on a par4 where I got an awesome drive, over 300 yards, and a perfect 7 iron to 8 feet from the hole.

No it isn't.

You can call it a double eagle OR an albatross.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Got a little shiver reading this thread, imagining what I might feel like to be in the same scenario. Wow!!

Dude, that drive you hit must've been crazy awesome to watch & see where it ended up. That alone would've blown me away.

Huge Congrats, Happy Father's Day
