My first eagle!

I scored the first eagle of my life today. For those who don't know what "an eagle" is - it's two under par on a hole. For a par 3, it's be a hole in one. Or a two on a par 4. Or the most often eagle is a 3 on a par 5.

My first eagle came on #5 at Chapel Hill Country Club (a par 5). I do have three witnesses: Chris Hallaren, Kendrick Jr., and Joseph.

My drive came to rest just next to the 200 yard marker. The pin placement was #3 (-13 yards), so I had 187 yards uphill with wind at my back. I hit a 6 iron just right of the hole by about 15 feet.

As I stepped up to the putt, I asked Chris to pray and fast while I putted. He did both. The putt broke just slightly to the left and caught the right edge as it just barely died into the hole. I did a victory run around the green and posed for the picture that you see. Yeah!!
