anyone who golfs.......yoiur best shot

[phatkid77]

i'm so excited..........sept. 16 i golfed one of the harder courses in my area....
i just recently took up the game this yr (aside from the yearly work tourny, i may have golfed 2x yr previous)

about 15mph winds, my tee shot on a par 5 went left into the first cut of rough........leaving me with 240 uphill. i grab up the 3 wood and gave her a swat....it started off straight, landing short and rolling up on the green, needless to say i was happy to be putting for eagle and all but gauranteed a birdie, but i was watching the ball roll right down the slope toward the pin.......rolling...........rolling, then i couldn't see the ball....i'm laughing thinking "that didn't just go in", my partner said "i think it ran in the hole" while the other 2 didn't watch as i was far away./...

well, i get up on the green and sure enough...........it was in!!!!!!!!! the other 2 guys we were paired up with were the ones checking in the hole and grabbed the ball saying" is this really your shot form back there??? in disbelief..

apparently the odds ar 6 million to 1 at getting a double eagle, my friend said they are better than a hole in one......if yoiu think about they are.. (unless yoiu hole in one a par 4, i have drove the green on a par 4 330+ yrds, but never holed...............maybe i shall try that in the next few yrs)

double eagle or albatross

needless to say i am pretty happy and shot my best round to date in the 70's
it could have been a 2 under par day had i golfed more than 1 or 2 times a month..

just thought i'd share, thanks

Wow! phats, it sounds like you had quite a day on the greens! :o :D

I love playing golf....don't understand the game, but it's fun driving the carts. ROFL! My first game they told me I had a birdy....(guess that was good because our team won)...I had no idea what they were talking about though. :P

Fun game!! ~swings~~~~~~ Duck!! :lurking:

Oooooo-rahhhhhh! A double eagle is an extraordinarily rare "bird" indeed. :lurking: Only a relatively small % of amateur players are capable of reaching a par 5 hole in 2 shots. The PGA Tour boys rarely make more than 1-3 a season and have had years when NONE was made.

So, enjoy the rarified air; you have hit a shot only very few will ever experience. The kind of shot that keeps a golfer coming back forever.

BTW, hope you bought the round of drinks @ the 19th hole. ;D

Well I was on the 14th. Green at Carnoostie....a par 6....I was on the green in 2!!.....I lined up my putt....something like 21 feet.....I addressed the ball and then this Funeral Cortege passed close by on the road.....I stopped my putt and removed my hat until the Cortege had passed by.....my playing partner remarked that I had shown great respect considering the fact that I could be down in 3........but I must admit that I had to confess to my opponent that "When you have been married to the Woman for 43 Years it doesn't hurt to show a little respect"...... ;D

It's like this PhatKid,

" Golf is a game in which the ball usually lies poorly ~ but the player well. "
This would be ..... My Best Shot!
