712.0. "An Eagle On The Fly" by CSCMA::WHITE () Wed Aug 09 1989 18:13

	This past Saturday I knocked my second shot on the first hole
        of the South Course(STOW) into the hole. I hit a 7 iron about
        155 right in on the fly. (It took a bit of the hole with it
        so those who played after 6:50 AM had a bigger hole to work
    	with. Now my question is it more difficult score an Eagle this 
    	way  than it is to get a hole in one??????

712.1	An eagle? That's nice but...	COMET::PINAR		`Wed Aug 09 1989 22:55`	14
	It's the hole in one that's "more difficult." Simply because it's more "coveted." However, I can relate. I've made two eagles from excess of 200 yards in my life (one with a 3 iron a few years ago and one with a 2 iron earlier this year and also one with a wedge this year), but nobody really gives a sht about those...it's the hole in one's that you can brag about! I know I won't be happy until I get a 1* on the card! B.P. (whos had a lot of 2's but nobody cares!)
712.2	2 in ???	KOOZEE::WARFIELD	Gone Golfing	`Thu Aug 10 1989 02:34`	10
	re: .1 > This past Saturday I knocked my second shot on the first hole > of the South Course(STOW) into the hole. The first hole was playing easy on Saturday. A member of the group behind us also put one in on the fly. He must have made the hole larger for you since they teed off @ 5:49 ;-) Larry
712.3	No hole-in-ones, but....	SA1794::WELLSPEAK	My painted horse is weeping...	`Thu Aug 10 1989 11:36`	11
	I know I've mentioned this before, but I even had a double Eagle 2, on a par five, about 7 years ago, at Southampton CC in, you guessed it, Southampton, Mass., and was told they only report hole-in-ones to the paper!!! I hit a driver and then a 6 iron that rolled into the cup. The hole is listed at 475 yards, but with the tees up it can't play more than 440 yards, and it's a dogleg right that you can cut the corner with, making it play no more than 410 yards with a real good tee shot. I had 2 witnesses, but it didn't matter to the people at the pro-shop. Beak
712.4		CLSTR1::VARLEY		`Thu Aug 10 1989 14:02`	4
	This kind of eagle seems harder to me than a hole in one, because you can't peg it up, and you can't roll it over. --Jack
712.5	I vote for the eagle..	HIRISK::FAGERBERG		`Thu Aug 10 1989 14:23`	6
	I think the eagle ( ahole in one is actually an eagle ) on a par four or a double eagle on a par five (i've had two) are more exciting. Our par five is under 500 yards. I have double eagled the hole twice, once with a driver and three wood and the other with driver and a four wood. Since I stroke on that hole, they were net one's!
712.6		CSCMA::WHITE		`Fri Aug 11 1989 15:58`	3
	I made a mistake. It was me behind you. We usually tee off @6:30 but our gold card holder forgot to call in our usual tee time and consequently had to play earlier that day.
712.7		ENGINE::WARFIELD	Gone Golfing	`Fri Aug 11 1989 16:58`	11
	Re: .-1 > I made a mistake. It was me behind you. We usually tee off @6:30 > but our gold card holder forgot to call in our usual tee time and > consequently had to play earlier that day. Funny, I too forgot to call for our usual 6:21 tee time on Monday & ended up with 5:41. Unfortuantely my early tee time didn't come with an eagle included. However I did make two birdies is that the same? Larry
712.8	YAWN !!	DNEAST::STEVENS_JIM		`Fri Aug 11 1989 18:35`	13
	5:41, AM..... You mean there are two 5:41's a day ??? I'm never moving back down south...Up here I can almost always get a reasonable t-time.... 5:41.... Hmph...
712.9		ENGINE::WARFIELD	Gone Golfing	`Fri Aug 11 1989 18:40`	16
	Re: -.1 > You mean there are two 5:41's a day ??? > I'm never moving back down south...Up here I can almost always get a > reasonable t-time.... Yeah the early 5:41 is the one where you play in under 4 hours & get home in time to be part of the family. The other 5:41 is the one that takes you 5+ hours, it's dark when you get home, the family is asleep, and the lights are out. ;-) Occassionally at 5:41 you run into young bachelor golfers how want to get in a quick round on their way home. Larry
712.10	AN EAGLE TO BE PROUD OF!	COMET::PINAR		`Fri Sep 15 1989 02:55`	10
	This is a note which is a reply to 712.1 > "I won't be happy until I get a 1 on the card!" Well, I'm happy! I got my first ace today. I hit a 9 iron on a 162 yarder. (actual distance was probably around 155 yards). B.P.
712.11	GOT LUCKY	COMET::DVORAK		`Wed Nov 07 1990 13:14`	7
	Earlier this year, playing an uphill, par 5, 487 yards. Driver, topped the 3 wood, then half-skulled a 7 iron. Just knew it was going to roll across the green into a trap. Well looked all over and finally found the ball in the cup. Absolutely proved that golf is definitely NOT all skill.
