He Shoots He Scores - Occhidiangela - 08-24-2005
This afternoon at our local golf course, I did something very rare during the weekly Tuesday Night Scramble.
I hit a two iron 217 yards, out of the rough, and holed out the second shot on a par 5. That is a double eagle. Our team won by one stroke. Best shot I ever hit in my life, which includes the hole in one I hit in 1991.
Needless to say, at the 19th hole the beer flowed like water in a downpour. I are now loquacious, and my back hurts from all of the slapping it just got.
Still amazed it went in, not sure how astronomical the odds are against making that shot, with my rather creaky golf swing, but they exceed the odds of pigs flying by a few percentage points, I think.
Yay me. *belch*
Fore! On the following hole, I hit a birdie. No, not a two on the par three, but my three iron shot took one bounce and hit a seagull. It lived, but I imagine that left a mark. Didn't he hear me yell "Fore" when I saw the ball going right?
Dumb animals, I guess. ;)

I was hoping this would be a hockey story. The thread title is misleading :angry:
Congrats :)

Gretzky is a four handicap. How's that for a hockey golf story? :D

Congrats, Occhi :)
It is tough to hit a milestone in a game and have a spouse who (Frankly my dear) doesn't give a damn. I am all too familiar with the feeling, myself. Hubby was utterly indifferent to my excitement at finishing questing with InspiredHope. :o
Glad to know that you persevere anyway, in the face of spousal indifference. :P

You appear to be channeling Ben Hogan in his later years . . . and funnily enough, I play Ben Hogan Apex irons.
Hmmm, strange connections, must get more caffeine and ponder this linkage. :blink:

Now how would the youngsters these days put it? Oh yeah, WOOT!! Big time congratulations. I have only holed long fairway shots a couple times, but they are just as good as any hole in one. Heh, in fact, a double eagle is like a hole in zero! Fun stuff. We are going to have to put together a Lurker golf outing one of these years.

I appreciate golf for the physics, but have no ability nor patience to play the game.
I have been known to indulge in some miniature golf from time to time. Really haven't been back since that time I was just a little itty bitty intoxicated... And I did my best Don Quixote impression and bravely did battle with the windmill for whacking my ball.
And Occhi me amigo... Be ye grateful that golf has sand traps and water hazards... But does not have The Pit!

I've checked that little peg leg jerk in the pro shop over and over and over again and he still hasn't offered one. It may be that I haven't leveled my game enough though. Time to hit the driving range and putting green some more.
