I noticed that @Golfingdad has a hole in one but not an eagle.  Unless he got a hole in one on a par 4, he should have an eagle also.  Right?

Maybe there is some distinction I'm not aware of...

Read the descriptive text here: https://thesandtrap.com/awards/ .

That's not to say he hasn't eagled a hole, in which case he should claim that one, too.

Got the hole in one. Let's get a more recent eagle than one 29 years ago? :-) Do it this summer!

Just was informed of this thread.. pretty sweet reward system. I broke 90 this past month and just had my first legit eagle on a par 5 this Sunday.

Had my first ever eagle on a 471 yard uphill par 5. Crushed a drive to within 160 with a huge uphill. Hit 5 hybrid to 5 feet from the pin and sunk the putt. I gave a couple tiger fist pumps after that one.

Hmmm... don't know why I never saw this.  I was directed here by a post @RandallT made in one of the threads.  

Anyway... 
 

Gotta work on some of the others!

Scrambles aren't really "golf" so let's wait for a real tournament win.

For the TST Outing does it have to be a new one or can it be for one I attended previously?

Do you have a copy of LSW? That's another one you could easily get.

Thanks!  

Not yet on LSW.  It's something I've been meaning to purchase, I just haven't done it yet.  

Do you have a direct link?  I'm sure it can only help me!

I'm pretty sure your April excursion to the frozen tundra of Virginia should count.

I thought it might, but wasn't totally sure. I've been part of the Erie TST Outings for the last 3 years also though. Technically you should have the TST Outing one as well if it counts for me.

@DaveP043 got the extra special organizer achievement for that outing. Well deserved too, as the hospitality was quite extraordinary! Calling @GolfLug to also claim your TST outing achievement. I see your Newport Cup badge, but not the TST outing.

http://lowestscorewins.com You can buy there. By the way, I saw you were possibly meeting a fellow TST member for a round somewhere down there near you, and thought I'd mention the outing achievement.

If you organize an outing and 4 or more members attend, you get the one that looks like an organizer. See DaveP043 above.

If you attend an outing where 4 or more TST members attend (and some of you meet for first time, I believe, not just regular friends), then you get the outing attendee badge. It has 4 golfers on it, and should be in my tag below. Just thought I'd mention it, in case you have a meetup and it grows to 4.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
