First Eagle!

[papswing]

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

Very nice! Congrats!

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

Wow, congrats! I'm still searching for my 1st!

[papswing]

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.

Thanks

Well done!

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!

congrats.  i'm still looking for my first eagle.  had a chance earlier this summer, but a 3-putt later (from 10 ft no less!!!) and i was walking off the green with a par...

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.

Gheers guys, i'll have another crack at it in the morning!

I bet that hurt! I scored 92 yesterday which equals my best ever, BUT I had an air shot and had to count it lol

[ejimsmith]

i've had about half a dozen opportunities in the 2 years (since i've been keeping stats), and none of my putts have fallen.  :(

I almost had mine today. It was a short par 4 like 360 yards. I hit a decent drive left. Had about 80 in. Hit a little punch GW and it came up like half a foot short. Closest I've ever been.

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.
