Finally picked up my first Eagle. 
 

412 yd par 4.  Driver 285 yds to 127. 52 degree dunked.   (Actually, I don’t know if it was dunked.  It was a bit uphill and behind a bunker, so I didn’t see it go in.  But, I didn’t see a ball mark anywhere)

Had a Hole-in-One today (Nov 4, 2020) on hole #3 (130 yards) at the Marovitz Golf Course located in Chicago Park District. Course overlooks Lake Michigan. I was playing my Tad Moore OA Hickory irons and used a Deep Face Mashie. It was my first hole-in-one and we were able to see it hit the green and roll into the hole. Pretty damn exciting - I've only been playing for 62 years 😀

Congrats!  That's exciting.  Make sure to save that gutta percha ball you used to make the hole-in-one.  😁

Need to claim my under par achievement! Just shot a 68 at Glengarry golf links near Latrobe PA. It’s a par 70. Shot -2 on front and even on back. 5 birds and 3 bogeys. First under par and first under 70 for my life. Pretty excited!

Much appreciated.... on a side note my next time out I made 7 straight bogeys to start my day. Missed all 7 greens. After that I caught fire and played the last 11 even. I was more nervous the next round coming back from that 68 than I was on my final gap wedge into 18!

Does no sixes for nine holes count? I played Sunday and went 5-5-4-5-5-4-3-4-5 for a nice little 40.

No. Halfway there, and has to be 18 holes played at once.

    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.  
    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
