      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.

    I notice many of these shots were made with a 4-iron. And I draw the conclusion that me not having that club in my bag is the only reason that I've never made an eagle.

      @BrandNewByxor 3 місяці тому

      I'm impressed you can tell the club just by looking lol. How do you know it isn't a 5 or a 3 iron? Is it from observing the shape of the club directly, or by looking at how much loft the ball gets?

It adds nothing relevant to my comment. Thirdly, your last sentence is absurd. You cant say I misspelled "carp", and it should be crap. You can say I misspelled crap as carp. You can say I wrote carp instead or crap. What you wrote makes no sense. Go soak your head.

    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!”
