Mine was at the 14th at Broadlands golf course. It's a par 5 dogleg left with trees on the dogleg, where you can see the green over a lake around the dogleg. The trees only go partway down the sharp dogleg, meaning if you hit a tee shot on the right side of the fairway and hit it long enough, it's a simple shot on in two despite the 570 yard distance on the scorecard. I hit a good drive, maybe 280, but down the right side near the trees leaving myself with a small blind draw from 190 out to the pin. Hit an easy 6 and my partner near gave me a heart attack. Here's his dialouge, "That's going to be on, nice shot...Wait, that's a great shot, within 10 feet. IT"S IN THE MOTHER ****ING HOLE!!!!!!!Wait, wait, no, I was wrong, you're left with a few feet for eagle". It was probably the most interesting eagle I've ever made.

Hole in one. Just a week and a half ago. 181 yard par 3 at Teal Bend in Sacramento. Used a 6 iron and shot it 18" past the cup...watched that bad boy spin back all the way in. Best iron shot I have ever had. A complete fluke.

You, sir, have stolen too much luck from the rest of us. Please return it immediately so I can have a hole in one, instead of forcing me to watch as my closest hole in one attempt does a 180* lip out back at me.

162yd par3....8-iron ACE   Easily my best shot.......I also have 12 eagles on par4s and about 100 eagles in total.   The ace definitely takes center stage........

PS.....I even holed a shot from 228yds on a long par4 for eagle......it's still not my best shot because I only have 1 ace.   The 228yd hole-out is just the best of 12, but scoring a 1 is in an entirely different class.

Eagle on #16 at Terra Lago (South Course). I had about 120 yards left for my approach and holed out.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Just a simple bird on a par 3 last month. My ball landed on the green, hopped once, hit the stick and settled for an 8 inch tap-in. One of my playing partners swore he saw it go in the hole and bounce out. It would have been my second ace if it had gone in. The satisfaction comes because I had just carded an 8 on the previous hole  playing with two guys I didn't know, and it's nice to show one has some game.

Another satisfying hole this summer was a par on a dogleg 4. I sliced the tee shot into a water hazard. Took the drop and put the third one on the green with a 190 yard 5 wood. Then a 20 footer dropped.  That's my only par with a penalty shot and also one of two times I've parred that hole.

Mine was the par 5 4th on Allister Mackenzie at Haggin Oaks. Normally get pars on it, but one day I hit a 325 yard drive and realized I had a shot at the green with my 5 iron. Had to go over water which is intimidating, but I knocked down within 5 feet for an eagle try and sunk the putt.

    • Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
    • Right. The difference between being 120 out and 70 out for me (this is the important part) is negligible and not worth putting other risks into play off the tee.   Ok the argument against driver is that my shot cone is comically large. It puts every possible outcome into play. You can't see the green from the tee so there's a good chance I'd have to wait for it to clear which would slow down play. That's the third tee right in the middle of the firing range there. I really don't want to wait just to hit a terrible shot and I especially don't want to injure somebody. Yea I have no problem playing out of the rough short of the bunker if I'm just going to lay up short of the bunker, but I absolutely need to avoid flaring it right into the penalty area if I'm going to be laying up in the first place. As a general strategy I understand where you're coming from. But since we're specifically talking about me (this is a shot I'm going to have to hit on Saturday), I think the cost is fairly marginal. I hit the ball 8' closer on average from 50-100 than I do from 100-150 from the fairway and rough and the green success % difference is 4%. Bunker might as well be a penalty drop. Based on the data,  Here's my SG:A data compared to a 10: I honestly don't know how to use SG for decision making. That's why I was mostly looking at proximity to hole and green success rate for comparison. I mostly use SG as a way to track my progress. All good. Like I said, I appreciate the discussion. It makes me think. If I didn't want to see alternative/opposing viewpoints to my own I just wouldn't post anything. You should post it! In your own swing thread, of course. It's been a fun exercise.
    • Played my first 2024 round at Pierce Lake. Boomed my first drive down #10 fairway, then slowly slipped into mediocrity. 83 (69.6/131). The high point was going 2 of 4 on sand saves. My sand game is pretty marginal but today I must have discovered the secret for a couple hours.
    • day 34. Technique practice. Became too quick and outcome oriented. need to slow down and work on technique again. 
    • Day 534, April 18, 2024 Practice before lessons today. Priority piece. No sim this time. 🙂
