First Eagle today :)

[hkmp5]

6.45 am par 4 286 yds. I drove the green the ball rolled off into the second cut little up hill lie, Eagle shot lob wedge 20 feet just wanting to get it close and it rolled in.

I dropped my club and struted around the green with my hands in the air for a couple of minutes, to bad I was by myself but at this point I just don't care. I have been on cloud nine all day , here is a picture kind of stupid I know but damb I made an eagle!

Nice shot bro, with a handicap of 99 I'm sure those shots don't come often.

As far as walking around the green with your hands in the air, I wouldn't want to play with someone who can't celebrate an eagle.

[kpaulhus]

Congrats! I would be flipping out too!

[senorchipotle]

nice drive, 286 on the fly? or the roll? either way, good job!

[pxc]

Congrats, what a great shot to make.

[bogeyhitter25]

That's awesome. I've had 3 total cracks at eagle but two-putted all 3 times.

[Dub]

Outstanding.

You had just cause for celebrating!!!!!!!


BTW that green quality looks awesome.

That's awesome. I've had 3 total cracks at eagle but two-putted all 3 times.

I've had about 6-8 chances at eagles but missed all my putts as well.

I've had one as well. Driver, 3 wood to 5 feet and made the putt. It was quite rewarding.

It was 2 years ago though, so I've been in a drought.

Congrats on the eagle.

Picture is kind of stupid though. Who's to say you didn't just drop the ball in there, lol.

Congrats bro, I wish I still got excited like that... The only way I do that now is when it is for a $80 or $160 spot

[brgolf]

I've never had eagle. You would think I'd have got a lucky pitch into the hole on a par 4 by now.

[David in FL]

Congratulations! Eagles are relatively rare, even for a lot of accomplished golfers. A lot of people go a lifetime without one. Well done!

I remember my first, I was playing team matchplay. my teammate was a very good college player. We we playing against the course hustler (shoots 60's from the tips all the time) and a very good tournament player.

We tied with a bird on the first, they went one up with a bird on the second, we tied on the third with two birdies.

we walked on the fourth tee with them 1 up, the fourth is a par 5 of about 550 from our tees and we all hit the fairway (which we usually all miss being only 18 yards wide) and everyone layed up about 40 or so out ready to make an easy bird. I don't trust myself from those yardages so I went for it, I had 255 left. I hit a good shot but left the face a little open and hit it right in the rough about ten feet below the green, got lucky though not having any trees in the way. By this time the other team had two balls within birdie range and my partner was in the front bunker. I set up with the face in my LW wide open and took a few practice swings to feel the distance to carry the fringe well above me. I hit the shot and everybody got quiet I looked down thinking it went too far not being able to see the ball. That's when everyone yelled and my partner ran down and slapped my hand. It felt great as the other team just laughed and picked up there balls.

We tied for nine holes but that eagle felt so great.

The sixth hole on the same course is also a par 5 and I hit the green in two one day, missed my putt went up to jam it in and it lipped out hard and came back at me hitting my shoe as I tried to jump out of the way... Ouch, a double with the penalty.

Damn, I haven't even had my first cup of coffee at that hour.
