DonM Eagles are a big deal for guys like us.

I thought I'd be more excited, actually. I'm kinda in "just glad to be alive, healthy, enjoying life mode", but the Eagle was a happy moment.♥️

    DonM I’ve never gotten one with a putter.

    Same here. Had the op in the 2nd round this year for 2. 1st was a 'shoulda been'😄 from 10-12', 2nd was a 'wishing/hoping' from about 50'. 2 birds though.

      Good job, Steve! I'm still awaiting my first hole out from a fairway. Never had one. If it had happened to me, everyone on the entire course would have been able to hear my shouts.

        Still waiting for some magic to kick in. After a 3 putt on #1 for bogey, rolled in a tricky birdie on #3, and was cruising along until shanking an 8i on #5. I then went on quite a funk for 4 holes where 1 shot each hole was a complete mess. Made an adjustment on #10 tee which worked, 7/7 FW and 7 greens on back. Of course, no putts went in. +4 on the day, and I butchered the 4 simple Par 5s, +3 on those total when I average -1 on those 4.

        80 at Tarpon Springs. No birdies. Windy this morning. Had a storm come thru yesterday so it was cart path only. We were first off at 7:00. Sunrise wasn’t until 7:16.

        So we couldn’t follow our tee shots. First drive ended up on the left. Had ~ 175 in and hit my 5 wood. Couldn’t see that one either. Got up near the green and there it was ~ 15 feet past the hole.

        Probably should play in the dark more often.😎

        Second round of match play. I lost 4&3. 🙁
        I had to give a stroke on 3 holes and they all cost me. I played a hair better than average but my opponent played one stroke better, before the strokes. He is a good putter, and he plays to his handicap in big net events. Last year he was runner up in this event.

        I was +8 for 15 holes with 6 greens and 26 putts. Once it goes through the USGA black box, I think it will post as the equivalent of an 82. We had some rough pin placements. I never once had a good birdie look.

          rsvman2 I put it in the category of HIO, mostly luck. I have two that I can remember. Best one I ever saw was my wife from 175 yards. Never got off the ground rolled all the way straight into the hole for eagle 2 on a par 4.

            Eguller Whew...for a second there I expected to read...'darn clubs'. Apparently, it was on Steve this time. At least from the way I read it.

                There's NEVER anything wrong with the clubs. It's me.

                BTW, I've had my 4h and 6h for 2 years now. SO THERE!😉

                    sdandrea1 I've been playing hybrids since I was basically a kid. Maybe 20 yrs. or so.
                    And actually used to be able to hit them great distances. 😞 But I never kept those.

                      87 at my home course. Cold and crazy windy but it was poor chipping and putting that killed me.

                      Monthly scramble today. Turns out I was 1 of 3 subs and the only original member was the A player. This guy was a wiry, fit, athletic 60-something (no it wasn't @Typhoon-he's taller than John and he's in Florida) who could bomb it. We Eagled our first par 4 after he drove the green (305y). We got to -9 and our team handicap was 6.2

                      Waiting to see how we did, but not optimistic. Fun day. I got my 2drive minimum in quickly, made a few approaches that led to birdies and sunk my fair share of putts.

                      Edit- we won Low Gross! $22 each!
