Eagle on a Par 4!

[ScottRempel]

Well, it was a pretty good day today. Will probably be the last day I get to play 18 as well as winter is on its way. However, today we were blessed with temps well over the normal.

Best shot and hole of the day was a short 289 yard par 4. There is a creek running across the fairway causing the majority of people to lay up as it is probably a 220 yard carry, and there is OB down the right side. As long as I'm hitting the driver relatively straight I usually go for it though. Usually a good drive get me somewhere 20-30 yards short, but today I drilled one right up the middle. It landed a bit before the green and released up towards the back pin placement, coming to rest about 3 feet from the pin! The putt had just a little break in it and I managed to make a good putt and drain it! The wife took a pic with her cell so I'll have to try uploading that later perhaps.

Driver went away for most of the back nine unfortunately, but I managed to turn in a 35, 41 for a 76 (par 71). This was my lowest score of the year by one, the first time shooting under par on the front 9, and amazingly I think it might have been my first eagle this year (the fact that it came on a par 4 is crazy).

Its a nice feeling an eagle on a par 4,i have two of them from very near the same yardage,one was a pitching wedge from 144yrds in Hawaii which i could
see go in and the other was from 142 with a nice smooth pitching wedge which
i didn't see go in as there was a bunker in front of the pin.Congrats on the eagle.
