First Eagle!

[darkhunter139]

Wow I had an Eagle today on the first hole! Its a 380 yard par 4 and the tee box was up a bit today so I figure it was about 370ish. I tee'd off with a real nice 5i shot that got some nice roll and was about 160 yards out. Got out my 7i and hit a nice shot that hit the front of the green and rolled all the way into the cup. Such an awesome feeling!  I was stunned when it went in.

Congrats man! I still get pretty stoked when I get a Birdie. An Eagle would be awesome!

What is hilarious is that I have not even got a birdie yet.  I have had plenty of chances but can never make the putt! I had one lip out on me the other day.

Congrats on the eagle!  It's a big weight off your shoulders.  Many more will come, I'm sure. Keep it up!

That's a great feeling, I got my first (and only) last summer on a short par 5 - nice drive, a 3 hybrid to the front edge and a 20-footer which *just* dropped in like Tiger's famous chip. I'd like to say I was composed and walked up calmly to get it out of the hole like I do that sort of thing every day, but actually I jumped about like a crazy person whilst screaming like a pre-teen girl at a Justin Bieber gig.

I have never holed out though, it must be a fantasic feeling, congratulations to you without doubt! I've never even really come that close...I spanked the pin on the full once with a 100-odd yard GW...which then proceeded to squirt off into a bunker :(

Congratulations!  The first one is always great.  Not sure about anyone else.  But actually remember my first eagle.  I was 13 playing a very short par 4 (like 290 from the whites).  hit driver then pitching wedge to the right edge of the green, trickled downhill to the left and rolled in.  I was jumpin up and down like an idiot kid.  Still remember it.  Congrats man!

Congratulations, I had my first one the other day as well. Par 5 about 510 yards, big dog leg left, at the Crenshaw Course at Barton Creek in Austin.  Cut the corner with a perfect tee shot about 290 and then hit a great 4i about 220 and sank the put. It's a great feeling. Actually had my 2nd eagle of the day and all time a few holes later. 3 putted for par. That's golf.

Its funny how I am usually pretty pumped to get pars but if I two putted and missed an easy birdie putt its like it is the worst thing in the world :)

Congrats man!

I have never had an eagle on US soil, I drove a 256yd par 4 in the UK to about 8ft and made the putt. I have had soo many eagle putts (& chips) here in the US, but I just can't seem to get it in the hole.

Congratulations! I made my first (and still only) eagle last year, which was a true fairy-tale to me. 7 years break from golf, first round, new set of clubs, 9th hole, 130 meters, 2nd shot, 9 iron! ... and I was hooked on golf again! @SGSII via Tapatalk

I made two today. One with a PW from 123y and the other with the putter from about 12'. Still shot even freakin' par...

[Roblar]

Congratulations - must be a great feeling!

I'm still hoping to get my first.

Hell, I'm 29 years old and jumped up and down like an idiot kid when I got my first eagle today!  Chipped in from 1 yard off the green on a double breaking roll!  So sweet..best part is I was playing with my dad.

Unfortunately I was playing solo so I looked like a bit of an idiot when I was jumping up and down.

Proof positive for the players in the next fairway!!!!

I got my first (and only) eagle this season. Was a 510 par 5 that doglegged right.  I cut the corner with probably my best drive of the season, and hit a 4 hybrid to about 13 feet.

It was pretty sunny that day, and I hit my second shot and couldnt see it at all.  I knew it was good, and I knew it was on line, but I pretty wasn't sure on the club.  The fairways were running very hard close to the greens, so I clubbed down.  As we were pulling the cart up, I saw my ball about 10 ft from the hole, and started a dead sprint to it.  My friend yells to me, gives me a "what the hell are you doing look" and I stop and realized one of our foresome was lining up an approach,

We all had a good laugh about my childish sprint, then I buried the put.  A little downhill, right to left -- dead in the heart.  Incredible feeling.

Haha yeah it was awesome, I practically ran to the hole as well to make sure I actually holed it and it did not just roll off the edge of the green.

Congrats man! I haven't made one yet, but I've had 4 makeable putts for it in the last couple of weeks. I've been playing more aggressive from 250 and in on par 5's.
