An eagle on a par 4 is not news worthy................still a lucky approach shot.

An eagle with no putts, not news worthy.....jus lucky.

Dam, I guess almost half of my eagles aren’t news worthy because they were short irons or wedges holed on the second shot of relatively short par 4’s. They still required a good drive and approach shot, but the approach shot going in the hole definitely involved some luck. The last one was a PW on #7 at Hibiscus.
