Won my first formal 18 hole tournament ever (Net Stableford, in my flight).  Not quite sure how I feel about claiming it, as it’s not my ultimate goal.  Ultimately my goal is to win a tournament Gross (in my flight), but a win is still a win?

Finally got an eagle on Saturday. 

Short 291-yard par four (Yankee Trace, Vintage course, No. 8). Much to my surprise and the group in front of us, I drove the green. It was the longest drive I can recall hitting without significant cart-path involvement. Certainly didn't think for a second I had chance to reach them. Fortunately, they didn't throw my ball into the water hazard.

Had about an eight-footer left. It seemed to sit on the lip forever before it dropped. 

Really cool also that I got to play that round with the guy that introduced me to golf in the first place.

Had my longest drive I would say ever. 4th hole at a tournament at Disney Palms, 400yards or so. Hit a 331 yard drive. I was driving the ball well all day, keeping it in play, good distance. I don't know if it hit a sprinkler head, got caught in the jet stream, hit it on the screws, that ball took of with a quickness. Hit to left rough, took a gap wedge from 86 stuck it to 4 ft of the hole and 2 putted for F's sake.  Later in the day I hit one 281 and then proceeded to shank 2 56's into the water. LOL.  A few Snell's found a watery grave that day. God rest their souls. Sorry Dean for your loss.

I have two hole-in-ones on the same hole, 25 years apart.

In a strange category, I have eagled all four of the par 5's on my home course on approach shots, none inside 110 yards. 130 yards, 160 yards, 145 yards and 110 yards. Why on the par 5's, I don't know. Never holed one out on a par 4.

Broke par (finally!) with 69 from the white tees at Wing Point Country Club on July 25. It's a par 71 course. One eagle, 4 birdies, 9 pars, and 4 bogeys. Finished birdie, birdie, par on #16-18. 

Congrats! Added (and "Broke 80" removed).

Does "almost forever" mean way, way beyond ten seconds? 😄

Congrats. There's no achievement for this, though. 😄

Both added (eagles and holes in one). Boom for you!

I'd say a solid five seconds anyway. 

Actually, thinking back on it, it was probably no more than a second and a half. It just felt like five. I hadn't even started walking toward the hole when it went in.

Decent. The greens were a little bumpy, but more than offset by them being receptive. Some areas of heavy leaves so luckily, I kept my drives out of those and did not lose a ball.

Just rejoined after a long hiatius and looking to improve from the 18 I've been and on a quest to 10. 

 

Since them I've gotten eagles and have broken 90, are awards still being given?

Holed out from 90 yards for my first eagle. Apparently that's the solution to my poor putting.
