Eca Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Grats Stu! Somehow it does feel different to a putted eagle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blader-X Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 The tightness of all those trees reminds me of one of my favorite courses; Sierra Star Golf up in Mammoth Lakes, Ca. Love that course and play it every time I'm up there. Just love heavily forrested courses. Now all I need is more true links courses over here. Thanks for sharing Stew.

idrive Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I don't know what was more spectacular, the golf course or Stews 300 yard bombs down the middle of the fairway. I've been fortunate to play a lot of really nice course in some amazing places but this one is my new #1 overtaking the "Challenge at Manele" located on Lanai in Hawaii. I was just amazing. When I got up to the green and didn't see the ball I figured it went long and into the bunker behind the green. The bunker was so big and deep they had steps cut into the back of it so you could get in and out. As I was peering down over the edge I hear "we have a winner" as Stew pulls the ball out from the cup. Helped ease some of the pain..... It's kind of funny in that I don't really have the memory of making eagle but of the magnificent golf course and the beauty of it all. What an experience I'll not soon forget.
