How Many Eagles Have You Had?

[GreiginFife]

I eagled the 1st once in a medal. 5iron from about 180 yards.
Thought it’s my day today.
2nd hole is a par 5. 11 shots later I’ve done my handicap

My first hole in one went similarly. Turned up to the medal still drunk from the night before. Par 3 1st hole, thinned one that somehow found the hole. Thought to myself “this might not be too bad”…

119 shots later - on a par 67.

If someone had offered to shoot me on the 11th tee I would have gladly paid them.

 

[DeanoMK]

I've had 3; 1 each on a 3, 4 and 5.

Also had one on the par 5 7th at LB but it was shortened so I don't count it.

I've been playing since 1959, and single digit for most of that time (still am, barely), I'd say I'm over 50 during that time (incl 8 HIO). Most are from par five holes, but have had a few hole outs on par four holes.

 

[Mel Smooth]

I think I'm at just 2.
Don't expect that number to increase significantly where I play as there's only one par 5 where you've a sniff of getting in in two and I can't get there.

I'd say the lad has had maybe 8-10, I could be selling him short there - again, he plays at a couple of courses that have driveable par 4's and par 5's that can be hit in two - which helps increase your chances massively.

That reminds me of a player I once knew. He kept the card from every single game he played in in his life, he died in his eighties.

He's my hero.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

He's my hero.

Presumably alongside Matt Fitzpatrick. His logging of every shot is the stuff of legends.

He's my hero for another reason; I keep winning money off the back of his wins.

I can relate to this. When I got my albatross I thought my ball had gone over the back of the green. Spent ages looking for it and had given up, but just thought I’d wander over to look in the cup and there it was.

I have had two holes-in-one. Both uphill par 3s so didn’t t see either go in

Two holes in one shot!

 

[Orikoru]

Two holes in one shot!

He obviously meant to say 'holes in oneses'.

Makes it easier to pee…

I've had 6. Five (counting my hole-in-one) have been at my home course and one at a public course here in Charlotte. Unfortunately, my last one was many years ago. The bright spot is I was playing with my son.
