My wife was the only witness, when I got Hole-in-one.
It felt more special when I got my first Eagle, than when I had Hole-in-one.

Maybe it was because I had 3 members on my league with me when I got it.

It was a 446 yard (Fairway goes over a hill) (I know it's a short Par 5, but because of a hill, it does seem long).

Glenview East Course 7th hole (Par 5)



I hit a straight (Wilson DD5, 10.5 degree) Drive 295 yards, over the hill onto the fairway.
I used 26 degree (Nike CPR) hybrid onto the green about 8 feet from the hole.
Made the putt for an eagle.

Usually when I make a great shot, second shot usually is a shank. But it felt so great to make 3 great shots in a row..



Just wanted to share..

Congrats on your first eagle. I don't actually remember mine. I did hit my first double eagle about a month ago or so. It is one I am sure I won't be forgetting ever.

Congrats

I Remember both my eagle and ace like it was yesterday. Ace was shear luck but the eagle was skill (and I will always defend that thought). Having my regular partners with me on the eagle also made it better, and it was for a 2 stroke win in our little group .

Congrats on the Eaglet.

That is awesome. There is something about making an eagle on a par 5 that is just memorable.....

Maybe that is because I don't have a hole in one, so all I have to compare it to is par 5 and par 4 eagles.....

Anyhow....that is awesome, keep em coming...And you are correct....when your friends or competitors are there and you do it....kind of like being on stage.....pretty awesome!!!!

Congrats! I've actually had a few eagles but never an ace. I think I would enjoy the ace a whole lot more, but then again the grass is always greener...

[DarthFierce]

Sorry, but I can't agree with that. I've had quite a few eagles on par 5's (and a couple of par 4s), but only one hole in one. The HIO was definitely a bigger rush for me.

You're right though, instead of just one great shot with a HIO, you have to hit 3 for an eagle. Either way, Congratulations! I hope there are many more for you after this....unless you're playing in my group against me for money :-)

Wouldn't your hole-in-one be your first eagle?

oh SNAP!

[phatchrisrules]

Congrats. I remember mine very vividly. Blocked tee shot, killed 18.5* hybrid, chipped in w/ a lob wedge, all for my high-school team qualifier...nice.

[Rabidpenguin45]

Wait... am i retarded, or isnt a hole-in-one an eagle as well? Or am i losing it....

Nah, you're not losing it.

I got my first eagle on Saturday. Hit a par 4 green from 240 metres and holed the putt... but I was all alone.
I never been so happy and unhappy at the same time.

[Shaitan]

Got my first Hole-in-One today. Greatest feeling ever. Never had an eagle, still don't have an eagle, but I've got a Double-eagle to my name these days. Playing this 9 hole course for school, downhill slight dog-leg right par 4, 265m. Cut driver, thought it was over the green and was looking in the reeds, mate has a check in the hole and YAHTZEE!!! We were jumping around the green for like 5 minutes. Just a pity it wasn't in competition.

[stasek]

I got my first eagle and the ace in a span of few months. The eagle was a hole-out from ~230 and the ace was few weeks ago during opening day at the club I'm playing at Let's just say the ace has pretty much covered my golfing expenses for the year

[8602081]

I guess, the hole-in-one is an eagle..

It's good feeling all around.. My group in my league are also my co-workers.. So I've been congratulated many times at work also (because people talk golf all the time)..

[hobbes]

Congrats!

My first (and only) Eagle was on a 546 yd uphill par 5 (#3 @ Pecan Valley Hills Course in Fort Worth TX)

Average drive right side of the fairway, then a spanked 3w to the right of green short of bunker. Chipped in from there. It was by far the best I played that 20 mph+ wind day! Funny now you can redeem a whole crap round with one hole.

[poppyhillsguy]

What shaft is in that hybrid?

[easyyy]

That is awesome!!! Congrads. That is what it is all about. Might never forget it. Super. I need one soon. I cant remember my last one it has been so long.
