Well, I finally got my first eagle today.  I've been playing for about 10 years now (pretty seriously my first 2 years when I played hight school golf and then picked it up again really seriously about 1 1/2 years ago with 3 or 4 rounds per year in the years in between).  I was on the 16th hole at my home course which is a 333yd par 4 from the tees I was playing... I hit a 3w off the tee and left myself 117 to the pin... The green is two tears with the lower tear being the one in the back... I was kind of to the left of the green and hit a choked down 9 iron below and right of the hole... in the air I was thinking it was a pretty good shot and when it landed it just kept trickling down towards the hole until it disappeared.  I wasn't 100% sure I had made it until I got up to the green and saw no ball there... just a great feeling.

I've had one similar shot back when I was in high school where I holed out from 150 but it was for birdie... I had hit a horrible drive on that hole and then a crappy shot into the right rough leaving me with the 150.

It was just fun to hit that shot today and wanted to share.

Nice job on the eagle!  Choking down on a club is something I need to do more of... Usually good things happen!!

I love a good 9-iron eagle! Made one myself 2 years back to a blind green from about the same distance. I thought I heard it rattle in, but my buddy said no way. The joke was on him when we climbed up to the green and saw the ball mark inches from the pin and my Titleist at the bottom of the cup.

That said, here's a toast to you!
