I Got a Two on a Five

Yeah congrats; but her TWO is still better than your 2. :biggrin:

Congrats! Remember that feeling, 'cause it probably ain't happening again...

Got a double-eagle myself several years ago. 190 yard shot or so, holed it out. Immediately triple-bogeyed the next two holes IIRC. :lol:

I wanted to walk off the course after that '2' and start celebrating at the 19th hole, but my buddies made me finish out. I had completely lost all concentration and focus...:p

"Approximately 40,000 aces a year are made in the U.S., compared to just a couple hundred double-eagles."

Thanks mstevac. I was excited, but didn't realize just how unusual it was until I followed your link and started doing some reading. As it turns out Jack Nicklaus only had one double eagle in his pro career and there have only been 95 on the PGA tour since 1970.

I do have to confess that it was all about "blind pigs and acorns". I shot a 90 for the round which is pretty normal for me. I even had my playing partners looking for the ball for five minutes before I dropped one as a lost ball. It was only when I went to pull the pin that I found my ball. (And yes, it still counts because by putting the ball in the cup I had completed the hole.)

What makes it doubly special is that my son was playing with me and birdied the hole as well. A father-son taking a combined 6 on a par 5 was pretty sweet.

And you are right Saw - it was the last good shot I had all day. And I could care less.

I almost aced a 297-yard par 4 at Hickam back in the early '90s...drive hit about 10 yards in front of the green on the fly and rolled all the way across the green, hitting the pin which was about 2/3 of the way back. Had a 6-inch tap-in for eagle. Still, it doesn't compare to what you did. Congrats!

That is totally acceptable. It's a once in a lifetime deal...

I hit mine from the edge of a cornfield. Bad drive. Bad dirt lie. There was absolutely no skill involved other than getting the ball airborne. It just went in. And I'll take it every time...:lol:

I eagled a par four on number seven at Meadow Springs C.C. in Washington State, and it was only cool because I called my shot. My dad's place was one fairway away on number four fairway, and he called out the back of his condo to me and the guy I was playing with, his crazy judge buddy, to come in for Mexican food after we finished the turn. I had a four iron in my hand, about 187 away, and yelled over to him "I'll be in after I sink this four iron..." I swung and hit a high shot towards the front of the green, which bounced about three times and then rolled to the flag and into the cup. The judge couldn't believe it, saying: "You got a damn eagle, you asshole...I've never had an eagle!"

I said, "everyone knows you have to talk to the ball or it won't know what to do." :biggrin: That was my last long iron for eagle, and it was in 1980.:(
