Finally, after 3 years of playing, I got my 1st eagle this afternoon!! It wasn't a boring putt either. The hole is a par 4 294yds. It plays downhill and has a sharp dogleg left back up to an elevated green. It's kind of a fools drivable par 4. If you miss the green you'll be walking all the way back up to try again. I hit a 5iron with a 5yd. draw and it took a good bounce forward at the end. I had about 60yds. (paced it after) to the front and about 20feet back to the pin. I hit a perfect 1/2 wedge with a little fade on it. It lands about 5ft. on and breaks toward the hole. I yelled "get in there" and it listened. I was jumping around hooting and hollaring, clapping my hands like an idiot. That one will keep me going for a long time.
I also had 2 more firsts today. I shot 38 out front and 39 on the back, my first 2 9's under 40 for another 77. I also accomplished my season goal. My cap will be a 9.7 as of the next revision. I can honestly say I couldn't have done it without all the great advice regarding swing, shots, equipment, strategy, ect. I have gotten from all you guys. Plus I have somewhere to brag about it.
Thanks so much guys.
