I'm new to these forums and haven't said much; however I have been browsing them since I joined....anyways I just had to share this weekends experience with you.

This is the first year I have actually taken golf seriously and played more than once every 6 months. I was at the local Club course on a par 4. I had a pretty good drive off the tee, that put me about 30 yards out from the green, which was at about a 8ft incline leading to the green. So normally I would get out the SW and try to get it close right....however there is a tree right in front of me, leaving a foot or so of a clear shot to the pin.

Now that the air is taken out of the equation from the hanging branches, I pull out the 7 to try a little bump and run onto the green. I struck it perfectly (wich is unusual for my game) and it one hopped onto the green.

Then like slow motion, almost as if it was magnetized, it starts running right at the pin. Holy @$#% this has a chance. As the ball got closer to the hole, I hear 2 guys on the next tee yelling the infamous "GET IN THE HOLE", by this point I couldn't see the hole, however their cheers let me know that I had not only holed it, but also made my first eagle Luckily my wife/flag puller saw the whole thing also, or else my friends would never believe me.

Side note: Lost the eagle ball in the water on the following hole

Any body else have a good weekend?

Congrats! I hate this game. What time do we tee off tomorrow?

That pretty much sums up the love/hate relationship we all have with the game.

Those are the shots that keep you coming back hookem.

Congrats, that is one you will most certainly never forget. A great accomphlishment you should be very proud of.

Appreciate the comments guys, I see my wallet getting much lighter for many years to come!

I had a horrible round on Saturday with my club men's group, shooting 81 when I'm normally around par. However, on the 6h hole (140 yards) I hit an 8iron to 3 1/2 feet and made the putt for my only birdie. That yielded a $55 payoff for closest to the pin and a gross skin that paid for my day of golf, lunch and a bit of ale.

Ah, you've got to love this game. I remember my first eagle, it was a great feeling...enjoy it and remember the feeling, it will help you in the future!
