Hundreds? Wow! I assume that most of your eagles were on in two and one putt? Did you hole out from the fairway on any of them.

The hardest score in golf is the double eagle!

In the 21 years on the PGA Tour from 1983 through 2003, there were 631 holes-in-one made, but just 56 double eagles.

I was referring to the t’s between the white t’s and the friendly t’s. I think they are green? My wife likes playing the friendly t’s.

Agree, I’ve had about 20 eagles (certainly not hundreds), but only one hole in one.

Yep. When you think about it, I have about one eagle a month, playing 60-70 par 5’s in that time, and have played for 55 years. So it’s not all that many. Double eagle? Just one 45 years ago, #7 Bethpage Black

:1rotfl::1rotfl:

I have had more eagles as well...............my point is................eagles take more skill (assuming drive, wood shot, one putt) than a lucky hole-in-one.

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

:024:

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.

:ho:

Yep , you are right, they are called the green tees.

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.

Call the Sun.....................life is good and it's all news worthy.

Everyone gets a participation award.

Hole in one
 

If you can put the ball in the small cup from 50-110 yards, more power to you! Congratulations! It’s hard. How many times have you missed a 2 foot putt?

No as a hole in one on a pitch and putt is not a hole in one.

See the rules of golf.

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.

Did that make the news??

As of 5 posts ago it did:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Hundreds is mighty impressive. Sadly, I'm pretty sure I've had more three putt pars than eagles, even counting the half dozen or so hole-outs. But, like you, only one hole-in-one.
