Congrats on the Eagle! I don't know how you did it with 5 guys watching like that! I usually rush through a situation like that, and really goof up.

I've never had an Eagle myself. I chipped one to 2 inches the other day.Just can't seem to get everything to come together at the right time!

Nice.  I hate you now.

Congrats!

Did you get your eagle on your home course?

If you are like a friend of mine, he thinks about his eagle every time he tees it up on our home course and then tortures himself thinking about how he got that eagle that one time and how he should at least birdie it...It doesn't end well. Wouldn't recommend that. Golf is cruel enough at times.

Got one today!  I was battling back spasms earlier in the week, so when I went out to play today I was very tentative with my swing and ended up being totally out of synch.  After playing the first 8 holes like a 20 'capper, my back started feeling looser.  On the 9th hole (a 480 yard par 5), I decided to forget about the back and just swing as I normally would.  Hit driver, 8i and drained the 12 footer for eagle.  Since we were at the turn, I went into the bar and bought a round for my bud and some two-some that we were paired up with.  From there, we headed out to the back 9.

After all these years I've never had an eagle on a par 5 (I've holed out on a par-4 from the fairway before though and had 1 hole-in-one).  I don't go for par-5s in two unless the conditions are just right, but I have managed to reach 4 of them this year and had 3 birdies and 1 3-putt par.  Maybe one of these days I'll finally make one of those.

Congrats!

You should've just walked up to the cup, grabbed your ball, and muttered something about "crummy hybrid leaving me with these long off-green eagle putts". J/K. Many congrats!

My first eagle was a par 4, driveable 307yd hole. Drove the green, and made the 20' down-hill left to right putt. It was during a round with my regular Sunday morning round buddies and I was ecstatic!! It was a career round for me that day, carded a 74 with a birdy at 17th to make a nice finish. You never forget your first birdy and first eagle.

    • True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context. 
    • I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

    • Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
