Not really sure which is more shocking.
Dropped 2 Eagles today! ....and only managed to card a 76. Thats good, and bad shooting.
1st one was on the second hole. (played the far nine, MGP) a decent length par 4 from the blues that I was playing.
Smoke my drive.
leave myself about 130 or so uphill with a crosswind...kinda uphill lie to a 3 tiered green. pin in the middle, so i club an 8 iron and take a nice smooth swing. ball starts out on my line...about 10 yards left of the pin (left to right crosswind) and tracks back on....ball goes right over the top of the pin and lands on the hill separating the top tier from the middle...settle on the crest for just a second, and then starts to creep back towards the hole....picks up speed...and then disappears...eagle!
par the next hole, par 3, and go onto the next par 5
90* dogleg left...water in the dogleg...i hit a nice drive kinda over the corner, leave myself 190 in. smoke a 4 iron to about 12 feet, and make a slippery putt downhill for the second Eagle.
rest of the round was nothing too special. sadly only finished the front nine with an even par 36. my ballstriking was really great for the most part. salvaged some tough pars late in the round otherwise it would have been worse.
34 putts kicked the bejesus out of me. definitely exposed some serious weaknesses in my game.
76 from the tips in wind....not bad.....76 from the tips in the wind with 2 eagles....kind of a let down...
