Hello all i'm a new member here, I hit my first ever Eagle yesterday, 261yd driveable par 4, I hit the green and then sunk a ten footer, what a great feeling that was!

I've been playing off and on for probably 20yrs playing maybe once or twice a year but I started playing regularly last year, yesterday I shot a 92 and scored 40 points

I'm playing again in the morning, i'm really enjoying my Golf now, if I can get it into my head to slow down and relax on every shot I think I can shoot in the 80s

I was very pleased yesterday, 92 is my lowest round yet, but I had three sevens and an eight so I can definately go lower. I think i'll get some lessons with the club pro, hes offered me four for the price of three so its a no brainer really.

Congrats on the Eagle.  I've had a bunch of opportunities but couldn't get the putts to fall but I'm still hoping I get one before the season ends.

Its the first time I've had an opportunity and to be honest I thought i'd miss the putt because it really is a weak part of my game, but my driving is really coming on and hopefully the scores will keep coming down!

You don't make eagles without going for the green.  Nice job.

And congrats BTW!

Awesome and congrats!  The only eagles I've scored were on par 5s, never on a par 4.  IMO, getting an eagle on a par 4 is much more difficult--at least on the courses near me, because very few of them are driveable for me (read: way less than 300 yards).  The only time I carded a eagle on a par 4 was when I was playing in a alternate-shot tourney with my bud.  It was on a level, straight away 278 yard par 4 and I put my tee shot on the front of the green.  From there, my bud drained the 12 footer.

Congrats, mine was on a long par 5 with the second shot over a lake in front of the green, 3 wood landed 5 feet from the hole. Second was soon after on the second hole of my first ever high school tournament, holed a pw from 80 yards out up a hill, didnt even get to see it go in.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
