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.

    • Day 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.  
    • Day 123 12-13 Rotation and getting to lead side work. Recorded face on. Hit a few foam balls but did plenty of rehearsals today.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
