7-iron twice....couple of shortish par 5's just under 500 yards, a little downhill, different courses.....both drives to about 170.....one happened yesterday, and I actually made the 12 footer for eagle....first eagle I've had in a long, long time....

On a par 545 hole this weekend (dogleg hole so the straight distance is only about 490), I hit what could be the best drive of my life to date. Left me with only 140 to the pin and I hit PW on to the green. Normally, on this hole, I would hit 4 or 5 iron and sometimes a 5 wood, but this past Saturday, I caught the drive as pure as I can hit it. Granted the ground was a bit hard so it took a huge bounce forward, but still, having a PW onto par 5 on a second shot was sweet!

Boy I knew I was a bad golfer, but this thread makes me feel horrible. The only time I have ever reached a par 5 in two was a 492 yard par 5 that I used a 5 wood to get to twelve feet away from the pin. I missed the eagle putt but I did make my birdie putt.

I have only one eagle so far. That was when I drove a short 300 yard par 4. I was playing with my son and two of my buddies when I hit a great drive and saw it bounce on the green. After everyone reached the green I went for my putter and my buddies said they were giving me the eagle. I told them that you cannot give me an eagle that I have to putt it out. They told me that I could blow the ball into the cup. It was then I saw that it stopped an inch away from the cup. My son does a funny impression of me shaking over my one inch eagle putt.
