Where Eagles Dare

  I post this in Game Tips, in hopes of getting some tips.

  What holes do you find easiest to make eagle on? Are there any big enough stat geeks (besides me) that they keep track of all their eagles? Has anyone made eagle on every hole of a course? What par 4 do you find easiest to make eagle on? I am interested in any eagle trivia anyone would like to share.

  I'd be surprised if anyone has eagled every hole on a course.  It's possible though I guess.

  Easiest eagle hole for me has to be Congressional #6, I think I have more there than anywhere else.  There are a couple of par 5 holes on Cabo that are really eagle happy but I don't count those as they're not available for all forms of play.  And have to be paid for.

  As for easiest par 4 eagle......  Again, there's one on Cabo but for the 'real' courses I'd say either Olympic #7, Chambers #12 or St. Andrews #9.  I think they're the only par 4 holes you can regularly drive from the back tees.  

  I may have missed a hole or 2 though.

  Bethpage Black, the 15th.

  Pretty sure I've made more there than anywhere else, beats trying to putt the thing for sure. Here's a couple

  BPB 15th 145yds 2nd shot and

  BPB 15th The 120yd cliffhanger!

  Cheers!

  My goal is to blackout my Eagle spreadsheet, an eagle on every hole of every course. lol Dream BIG, right? (note: I am not even close on any course. 7 holes of PB is my best so far.)

  I have only played Cabo once, but missed 3 close eagle putts when I played. #needtoworkonmyputting

  +1  I would include Pebble Beach 6 as well. I have more on it than 18. It seems like a good chance for eagle every time.

  I love that hole! (now that I have equipment that will hold greens a little) I have one eagle there, and a few close calls.

  Another regular eagle hole for me is Chambers Bay #4. I had given up on trying to hold the green, and always played a lay up shot, but after reading a thread on how to play it, and getting better equipment, I started trying for eagle again. Now I find it to be one of the best holes for eagle.

  ...and I just added my first Erin Hills eagle to the list, an ACE on Lucky #13

  How do you post a link to a replay, with a different title than just the address?

  Hi,

  I'll try and keep it short, try the search box on the right, but for now start by copying that line of code

  

  then start your post as normal, using whatever you want to call it

  

  Highlight your new title ( so that it goes blue not grey) and the link icon is now live

  

  Click that, a new page opens and in the Link URL box paste that long line of code.

  

  Open in the same window is ok and hit Insert. Now it should look like this

  

  Finish your post/message, preview if you want. The blue text should now be green, then hit POST.

   That's it.

  Cheers!

  Rich
