Finally a great shot!

[owenb]

While playing a round Saturday at Manderley, I finally got myself a great shot. We were on the fourth hole of the South course. After driving the ball into the left rough just inside the 150 markers, I figured I better take an easy 7 iron to get to the green as it is quite a piece uphill and you don't want to be short. I made good contact and heard a twang when the ball got to the green. I figured I had hit the pin and rolled 20' past it...I have done this a few times this year. To my surprise, as we got to the green, there was no ball in site other than my partner's. I decided to check the cup to make sure after seeing my divot about 10' from the cup...there it was...my ball sitting all alone in the bottom. My very first eagle!! I know it ain't big to some here, but this being only my second year and no lessons taken, I feel great that my game is coming around nicely (lessons will be scheduled for enxt year). I ended up shooting 39 for the nine and then a 44 on the central for a best ever for me of 83. I must go pay thanks to the golf gods now.

For every 100 bad shots, there's always that 1 GREAT shot, CONGRATS. You shot an 83 in your second year, very nice!

The secong shot to the 4th hole on the south course is not an easy one. That you could pull off an eagle from the left side rough is remarkable. Congratulations on both the eagle and the score.

It's what keeps you coming back.

Congrats, owenb.

I've been playing Manderley for a few years, and I don't think I've ever even birdied that hole. I know I've figured out how to par it, but the eagle...WOW! Even more spectacular from the left rough. I've been in that rough, and I don't even know how you made it through. Good job,

If i had to pick a green at manderley NOT to have to putt on that would be the one...nice job


p.s. BigFish since when do you par ANYTHING
skins tonight? or do you just want to mail me a cheque?
