on a par 4! second shot is a 9 iron that traced nicely towards the flag, but since I couldn't see the bottom of the flag I didn't see the ball go in. As I walked up to the green I was baffled not to find my ball anywhere, sure enough it was in the hole! :D:D

First eagle ever.

And I continued the round and shot a smooth 100 :(. The last week I played at the same course I shot 87!

That's awesome. I was in the same situation once, par 4, second shot was a 9 iron and it ended up less than 6" from the hole. :(

Who cares? You got an eagle for 2. Always nice, doesn't happen very often...second only to the hole in one.

NICE!

If it were me and I hit a 9 that looked like it was going to be really close to the pin, I'm yelling....

HUNT! HUNT!!!!!

It helps if you talk to the ball. :D

lol I always yell BITE BITE but the ball just keeps rolling to the other side of the green (usually to a greenside bunker)

That's a combination of the greens and your swing. I played Sunday and no matter what I did to get a TON of back spin the balls didn't grab. I blame the greens for this one.

Let's put it this way...I kept looking around to repair my ball mark. There was none. Like hitting into a parking lot.

Eitherway, you holed out for a 2. Doesn't matter what it looked like. Your card says 2

But the rest of the card says 5-7-5-6-4-8-2-7-6. :laugh:

Dunno if the card's a keeper. ;)

Grats on the eagle, ain't easy.

They listen better if you hit them well.

C'mon. If that bitch is hunting, you tell it to hunt.

You purposefully told it to work, you execurted, and it's working right to left on a pin that calls for that shot....little bite, hop left on the green and check. Hunt.

You know there is a difference between 20 feet and 2.

i only have had one eagle...on a par 3, hahaha. seriously i did.

congrats though. it's shots like the one you just had that make you go back for more even though you shot a 100. i shot a 91 when i had the ace. i haven't had a chance to play in a long time since i started working fulltime and quit my college golf course job.
