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!

That is amazing!  Congratulations!  I have never sunk an eagle before, but I still get an awesome feeling when I get a Birdie, so I can only imagine the feeling for an EAGLE!  Congrats again!

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

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.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
