The Eagle has landed…well sort of. We were off the yellows, and there was a temporary green which made the hole 60 yards shorter. This was on Diamond 4 at Discovery Bay, so the Par 5 was in fact only about 400 yards. Nevertheless, we got on the green in two and was about 30 feet right of the hole. Argh, temporary green again. R was just joking that it would be a miracle if I went in. AGGRESSIVE. That worked on Ruby 4 on the front 9, why not Diamond 4? After a lot of bouncing and rolling, I got dizzy after a while, but managed to fall into the hole! EAGLE! At least that’s what it says on the scorecard. We won’t consider it a true Eagle, but an Eagle nonetheless.

@Tim, not a “true” eagle, but getting a one putt on a temp green was hard enough.
