Thereby, news worthy skill..............vs. jus a lucky shot is not news worthy.
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.

Sorry, but I think holing out with a wedge or an ace on a par 3 is NOT pure luck---it is an exceptionally good shot that happens to go in. Using that logic, DW contradicts himself since a double eagle would be a "lucky" second shot. As far as #7 hibiscus goes, I played it yesterday and drove it on the green (just white tees since everyone was playing from there). Unfortunately, I missed the 20 footer so I couldn't add to "Mr. Helpful's" "Pinocchio" total.
