Whats your best eagle streak ?? have you had one?
Mine is 2, 2 short par 4's at my home course a 3 foot putt for the first (a knee knocker) and an 8 iron chip in on the next.

Eagle streak ? I've never had a birdie streak
I've had 2 eagles both on winter temp greens and chip ins from about 100 yards. Never had a proper eagle where I say hit the par 5 in 2 and 1 putt.

I've had a few, mostly getting to short par 4's and 5's in one or two shots, then a one put.
But my favourite was August 2010 at Pedham place. The par 4 10th. 381 yards, a nice tee shot left me 150 ish yards from the green. The wind was assisting so I took a 9 iron, it was a nice strike and rolled up onto the green, and in the whole. Not had a hole in one yet, but that must feel pretty close.

Never had more than 1 in a round, and not had one this year.

You lot are just showing off now.
I'm still waiting for my first, came close to one a couple of weeks ago.

Matt, I kid you not they were my first and second eagles after never having any in many years of playing. I then proceeded to the next hole thinking I was some kind of golfer now , hcp was 17. It's a par 3 116 yrds over a small pond and I thinned it straght in, back to reality. You know the saying you wait an age for a bus and then two turn up! Not had that many eagles to shout about since they're quite rare these days.

My first eagle was WOW! I hit my 2nd shot to a par 5 1 inch pin high right. Never been anywhere near an albatros since.

Eagled both the par fives on the front nine at Corfu Golf Club, On in two for both of them and holed two pretty monstrous putts. That was the last time I had eagled holes and it was in 1986.

I have only ever had two in a row.
But it got me thinking, what have I got more of, Eagles or 3putt Pars?

Ah! three putt pars, have had quite a few of them in my time.

i have never had 2 in a round let alone 2 in a row.
Only had 1 hole out from 170 yds with second on a par 4, all the others ( all lol ) have been on in 2 on par 5s or drivable par 4s.
I have had several 3 putt pars as a result of making sure i didnt leave an eagle putt short and missing the return !
I CANT BELIEVE YOU EVEN HIT THE GREEN ON A PAR 3 OVER WATER DAVE !!!!!

Tim read it again I didnt make the green I thinned it into the water , I also went in the same pond today albiet not a thin ,but came up short , took a drop and that went in too. Blob the hole finished the round 36pts! and lost out on the purse which was £70.http://www.golfshake.com/scripts/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/angry_smile.gif" title="angry" width="20" />

Wow. Never had a Birdie until last week let alone an Eagle. It was the easiest par 4 on the course though and the winter green. Eagle opportunity soon though since I am not far from hitting the green in one.

Never had an albatross either,

Michael.
