Your first Birde, Eagle, Ace...

[USA 79S]

Just wondering if you guys did anything significant to commemorate your first(s). Maybe you framed a scorecard, or cased the ball? Tell us about your big moment(s).

I was 7 and got my first birdie on a 348 yard par 4 hole on Terra Greens GC in East Stroudsburg PA. I have the ball with all the stats of the day, hole, yardage and clubs I used. It's in a clear square case on my mom's dresser. Nothing to commemorate an eagle...but i do have my ball written again on it with a permanent marker with stats to commemorate my double eagle with the signed score card with the two witnesses (both aren't framed or anything). The albatross was on the par 5 480yd second hole with a driver/7wood.

Nothing for birdie, I dont even remember my first. Never gotten an eagle or an Ace, but when I do, you can bet I'll save those balls!!

I started to keep the balls i scored EAGLE since last year .

Would be cool to have a wall mount carved to the shape of an eagle

I've kept the ball I got my first eagle with.
It was a yellow ultra.

My grandfather has in his basement a wall of shelves that he keeps all his birdies/eagle balls from 'top 100 courses to play before you die' courses...and a sign over top he had custom made that says, "Heavenly Shots from Heavenly Courses"...always thought it was pretty cool

My first birdie i remember, but i didn't commemorate it or anything. I still have the ball and scorecard from my first eagle, but i haven't done anyhting with them.

Don't have anything on birdie and eagle, but I might save the ball should I ace it.

[Fourputt]

Don't remember first birdie or first eagle.... too much water under the bridge since then. Both would have happened more than 20 years ago. First ace was also 20 years ago but that I do remember. I did intend to save the ball, but somehow it got mixed up with some others in my bag and I couldn't tell which one it was.

It is memorable for costing me $200 in the clubhouse afterward (although since it happened in the club championship I won $1200 from the hole-in-one pot ).

My first Eagle was a hole in one on a 130yard Par 3! Luckily there was someone with me at the time as no one would have believed me,have not got near a hole in one since or a eagle for that matter
It was a pure fluke of course but sure hey they all count!
I got him to take a picture of me taking the ball from the hole,but never even thought of keeping the ball,I still have the scorecard somewhere in my Dads garage

My first eagle was on the 10th hole par 4, 360 yards. Holed out from the fairway from 100 yards. The ball is currently sitting on a shelf in my bedroom.

Never had an ace (or an albatross / double eagle). Holed out for eagle on par 4s a few times, but never from the tee.

My first birdie was after playing for about a month. On the first hole (a par 5) I pitched one in from the trees. I was just trying to get it towards the green - didn't see it go in and didn't keep the ball (probably lost it a few holes later). I didn't even realize it was a birdie because my brother had the scorecard.

My first eagle was almost as flukey. I holed out from the fairway (5 iron). It was at dusk and we all thought I must have flown the green into the long rough. We assumed the ball was lost until the first person removed the flagstick.

I don't remember the first time I putted in for eagle. I did that way more often when I was young(er) - way more agressive. These days I hit more greens but only ever hole out from just off the green.

I have the scorecard from my first round under-par in a shoe-box full of memorable things from growing up. I still remember playing the 18th hole that day and actually making birdie on it to shoot -3, putter was on fire. Didn't save anything from my first eagle, but remember it well... approx 500 yard dogleg right, driver-5wood to approx 10 feet and made the putt. Both of these happened 15 years ago or so. Haven't made an ace, but will keep that ball.

[nike_golf]

Don't remember the first birdie. Remember the first eagle, but I never thought it was a super big deal to commemorate or anything, so I didn't keep the card or ball. I kinda figured, why make a hoopla? I'll be doing it more and more later on anyway. he he.........

I have yet to get a hole in one. I've been two rolls of the ball away from one, but if/when that happens, the ball is getting saved.

[kpaulhus]

I save every scorecard in a box on my fridge. I have never made an eagle or hole in one, but my first birdie came in a tournament and that skin won me $75. I didnt keep the ball though. My first eagle will be a keeper though.

I hit a hole in one on December 26th 2009. playing alone. Big Whoop. 140 yd par three.
