Two for six

[Tashyboy]

Played today and a PP playing off 21 played our 11th a par four uphil dog leg right. SI 3. Smashed his drive down the middle. 210 to the pin. His natural shot is a fade/ slice and he creamed it over the hill. We never saw where it finished. Spent the next 10 mins fannying around looking for another ( lost ) ball.
he and a PP are forty yd behind me looking for his ball and I am looking around the green. I though there is only one place this can be and sure enough it is sat in the bottom.
I told PP I had found it and it was at the back of the green, he walks ove and said "where". I pointed to the hole and he thought I was winding him up. He walked passed me, and grabbed hold of m and " said am gonna smash you if your winding me up".
Sure enough his Wilson staff was sat there. His celebration was proper crap. We spent the next minute or so putting his score to the hole. Two for Six. He was Buzzing. He shot 9 points on a front nine comp.
Chuffed to bits for him.
Anyone else seen a six pointer or above.

An absolutely genuine 28'er eagled a par 5 at my first club - Driver, 3 wood, 3 wood and in..
Got 2 shots on that hole
3 nett 1 for 6 points..
A while ago so a little hazy on his final score but I'm sure he didn't make it to 18 points...

10 mins looking for his ball surely is a dq?

I'll let you tell him... :rofl:

Well pleased for him. Never seen it personally. Had a couple of 4 for 4 on par 5's over the weekend and was chuffed to get that.

No we were playing in a three ball and it was other PP who had lost his ball. His face when he saw the ball in the cup was a picture al not forget for a long time.
Ironically, he was the guy who I bought the £12 ball marker for from Birkdale.

Here is the text of the opening thread I started in August 2014:

"Something I have never seen before in 59 years playing golf.

One of our Seniors (27 handicap and plays 2 qualifiers a week) is known to be a very big hitter but normally pretty wayward. Today, on our 5th hole (a 503 yard par 5, SI8), he scored 2 for 0 for 7 points. They never saw the ball go in the hole - it was from 240 yards away - but there it was sitting in the hole.

Not content with that, he also had a 2 on the 8th hole (a 304 yard par 4) but that was only 2 for 1 for 5 points (he sunk a wedge from 120 yards). He got chopped 1 shot as, apart from 12 points on 2 holes, he only scored 26 on the remaining 16 holes."

And this was a follow-up post a week later:


"The gods of golf give but they also take away.

Today in a Medal round, the same player, on our 15th with a devilishly difficult pin placement, racked up a score of 23 for the hole. He didn't get chopped this time, even with a stableford adjustment of 15. "

And good on them.

PP, shot 8 points in total for the front nine and 18 on the back. He had 11 points from the first 3 holes on the back nine. Will start calling him Eddie " the eagle" from now on.

Had 4 x 5 pointers last season, one at our 6th and 3 at the 18th (2 of them was to catch the buffer lol)

All 3 of the par 5's at Balbirnie are reachable in 2 given the right conditions, however for a cat 2 player to get 6 points would need and incredible stroke of good fortune.
