thanks.
speaking of the double eagle club, check out their dissertation on the subject.

Yes I’m familiar with the phase. LOL
Thanks for the ‘ping’... My hole in one - Army/Navy course in Hawaii - luckily three partners to witness... Told my one of my regular partners afterwards : “I eagled #3 today.” Took him a minute to figure it out. 7-iron - 167 yards, can see it 25 years later...
wait, what ? this discussion is not a matter of life or death ?
bummer.
came close to double eagle a couple of times...ended up putting for eagles.
too old to have that kind of length anymore.
Have 3 eagles in my golfing lifetime. no hole in one that’s verified.
I still keep hackin away at it...though not recently...this past weekend snow and rain for the next 3-4 days - starting to go mad...
Once saw the odds for scoring a double eagle after reading about Gene Sarazen's at Augusta.
After your 1000th hole-in-one, you are ready for your 1st double eagle.
Started playing golf last year when I turned 60. I’m almost good enough to start keeping score.
Don't get mad, get even!!!!!
“Double Eagle” to me is a $20 gold piece.
I wish...when we could play, so far, it’s been cart path only or 40 mph winds and one rain out while on course...gunna go back to walking as I can...easier than cart path only.
I have a remote control cart, makes walking ok.
Now if I can just find the bottom of my swing....
Hit it hard...it’ll come down somewhere.

Lol!
When I started to play golf in the late 1950’s, the old men referred to a two on a par five as an “albatross”. It is archaic but it stuck with me. I never holed a second shot on a five but when and if I do, it will be an albatross. Some my refer to a hole in one on a par three as an “eagle” but to me it will always be my “ace”. You may call a hook a draw while I may call a slice a fade. Golf is golf. No one every quit the game because it was too easy.
How fun would it be to play 18 holes with the President and the Donald. That would be the ultimate bucket list item for me...
Boy, that would be sweet. My former golf buddy (RIP, Peter) played with Dan Quayle when he was VP and said he was the best 5 or 6 he ever played with. My friend was about a plus one at the time. I work for a local government and shortly after Trump’s inauguration, I found a great photo on some webstie of Trump and Arnold Palmer standing on a tee. I printed it out and it hangs on the wall of my cube. AFter I hung it, half my co-workers stopped talking to me. But that’s OK because I said not one word for the eight long years the Bulack Osama photos hung on their cube walls.
Depends on the wind. I’m close to Rush’s age, and build... If I hit it good, with some wind at my back, I can still get to 300 yards.
