Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two...
Facing down this long par 5 6th hole, I got every bit of the ball out of my tee shot, and came to rest at mid-fairway abreast of the nearest of the bunkers flanking the left of the lower fairway. With the elevation change nearing 40ft, the loft to the upper fairway definitely cut into the distance on my second shot. I swung a 5 iron, risking hitting the ball too low in order to advance as far as possible, and got about 160yd farther along, to set up a lie about 110-120yd from the pin. I drew a 7 iron, looking to make the green and set up a short Birdie putt, and stood in stunned amazement as the ball found the green, bounced, hopped, and then rolled as though on rails right to the cup for an Eagle.
Walking on air to the 7th tee at 2 under par, with 23 strokes on the round.
