      That "fucking stupid guy" makes about 200x more than you make, and consistently make atmosphere calculations based on feeling. You try doing a nearly impossible feat and see if you have the concentration to give someone a high-five. I'd be hype as hell.

    Witnessed my brother’s double eagle back in September, 2017. I was actually taking a leak under a pine tree when he struck the ball and I turned around towards the hole just as the ball was approaching the green. He was ~235 yards out in the rough and hit a 5-wood over a pond and it drilled the stick. Couldn’t see the ball drop into the cup from our vantage point, but we had heard the sound of the ball striking what we believed was the pin. I figured the ball had likely ricocheted off of the pin into the woods behind the green, or that it would be somewhere in the surrounding rough. When we drove up to the hole, I was looking around and could not see a ball anywhere. I stood on the front of the green as my brother pulled the cart around to the back of the green. I SO wanted to look in the cup to see if the ball was in there, but knew I had to let him check. We were both giddy at the possibility of the ball being in the hole. He slowly approached the hole, stopped, and then leaned forward and peered into the cup. Then he suddenly grabbed the pin and yanked it and the ball out of the hole while screaming “It’s in the hole!” We must have high-fived and hugged each other a million times that day. It was easily the greatest golf experience I’ll ever have and the greatest shot I’ll ever see. So now, just about every time we play a par 5, when he’s hitting his second shot, I can’t help but think, “He’s actually got a legitimate chance for double eagle here... I mean...I’ve already seen him do it once!”

    Has anyone ever gotten on of these off the t box on a par 4?

    They were all focused on the hole and not on the green! They intended this!

    My friend Bob, don't know if you know him, had 2 albatrosses in a row followed by a hole in one and still couldn't break 80!

    I think it's really tough to put a top ten together for these types of shots. Anytime you make it in two on a par 5 that is a top ten highlight anyway you look at it.
