Good Monday Morning!
The ‘committee’ decided that UT is in the College Football Playoff as the #3 seed, so all is well in the world... well, at least here in Texas...
Describing the process of an Eagle on the Par 5 506 yard 6th hole is simply not believable! So I will just simply state that I threaded the needle on two drives of a lifetime and got on the green in two... tapped in for Eagle... 🤣

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.
