My first eagle :) Par 5 6th @ merristwood

[Shooter McPowick]

Really happy with my round in general on Saturday (87) good for me but managed a very lucky eagle on the par 5 6th at merristwood. Messed up the 7th with a 7 which was really avoidable and just plain stupid so would have been an 85 if I didnt fluff a couple of chips.

Driver in the right hand rough - 6i lay up to around 100 yards out and a 50 degree wedge went in - I wish I had waited to see it drop - it looked bang on line but a bit short but one of the chaps in our 4 ball said it rolled up nicely and just dropped in.

Had to tell someone that might have a modicum of interest as the other half barely raised an eyebrow - lol

Congratulations, not something that I've achieved yet. One that you'll always remember.

 

[NorfolkShaun]

Nice one, not had one for a while now but still remember them all

 

[snell]

Nice one

Still never had one myself :-(

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Well done sir

 

[ScienceBoy]

Good score!

They are always fun to get, not had one in a few years now.

Next challenge is to have had one in each of a par 3, 4 and 5.

Thanks guys

Managed a very lucky eagle on the par 5 6th at merristwood.

I can guarantee that it wasn't luckier than mine on the 2nd at Woburn a few weeks ago!!
Mine was the absolute spawniest you could have ever witnessed.
Fish was so pleased for me.....

Well done mate, had my first one the other week.

Well done.:thup:

Loved merrist wood, great fun course to play when I used to play it and the greens were lovely.

Well played.

I've only ever had one, on a shortish par 4 at Chartridge. I was so happy I did a lap of the green and the ball is mounted in a wooden eggcup at home on display for all to see.

Good skills my friend, I'm on a career total of 1 too. I also never saw mine go in as i was hitting 5 iron straight into a low , blinding sun. Never been close since !!

I was with him in the four ball, it was an epic shot...I also didn't see it drop as I was wading into the bunker...one of many I ended up in that day!! the flight was lovely though! it was a proper shot!

thanks man! Ball is a bit battered but I've kept it for posterity

You should get it a little plinth to go on keep it on top of your mantelpiece! We'll have to go out again some time see if you can replicate it

Well done.. and (belated) welcome to the forum...
I always liked the 6th. After my drivers have found water many a times, i now have a different approach to the hole...
>> 5i >> 7 or 8i >>9i or P to see it run up to the green. Somedays it seems to work well

Did not know that we had a forumer from Merrist Wood. I am a member, but wont renew when the subs come due next month, so we should get a round together. Let me know what works for you. PM me your details

not renewing as i need the money for the house work.. its a shame because it is a good course and I like it.. but golf is going to be on a slow burn for the next 12 months or so...
