Shot of the week - running

Playing partner pured a 9i on #13 Carter Plantation from 140 out.....landed 2 feet in front of the pin, bounced once and rolled in. Beautiful Eagle.

Needed a par on the par 5 18th at Metry today to break 90 (really good for me). Had about a 40 ft. chip to within a foot - tapped in for par.

280 par 4 over water. Didn’t trust my driver and thought I could put my 7W in the neck before the green. Absolutely got all of the 7W and it went straight!! Tracked it at 235 yards and chipped in for Eagle. First one ever. Still looking for that ace!!

First round in 3 weeks, had 170 with breeze slightly into me, pin behind a bunker about 10 ft on green. Hit 5 iron to 5 ft and made the putt.

Muni today, last second decision to play because had clubs in car.144 back pin on 15, high cut 8 iron to 4 feet behind that bunker.
Missed putt, don't care because I played decent and I have sucked for months. 83

The last time I replied to the shot of the week thread it was this same home number 14 par 5 at Bayou DeSiard.
Hit decent drive into left rough. Skied second shot leaving me still 140 to pin on middle tier. Ball sitting on bare dirt still moist from rain with acorns all around. Hit a punch 8 iron that landed on middle tier and checked. Two putted for par.
Par is good for me on this hole because it turns into doubles and triples quick for me here.
Finished with a 75 which is my best round in two years.

Proud dad post here. My son (6yo) nailed a 20 foot downhill birdie putt with about a foot of break. Perfect putt that I probably don't make but 1/20 attempts. Hits it then shows no emotion as it drops, meanwhile I've got my hand raised and Tiger style fist pump.

Then on the last hole had a similar putt a little flatter for birdie that burned the edge.

11/6 my local muni, Ridgewood Gold Course, #2 340 yd par 4, 2nd shot 130 yds from the cup, mid green flag. Landed a 9 iron front portion of green, but couldn't see where it stopped. Small rise from front of green to mid green. Expected the ball to be mid green. I walk to front of green and am confused, "where is it"...playing partner looks in cup...whatta you know. First eagle ever. Finished the round 42/48. Yeah I suck.

I hit an absolute spicy fairway bunker shot on #18 at mossy oak.

145~ yards with a decent lip to get over, hitting to a very fast green with pin on the front and a big false front.

Pured it to about 15-20 feet and 3 putted to shoot 80

#12 at Texarkana CC. Hit my second shot on the par 5 just short of the green and it rolled in the thickest rough on the course. Steep slope that roles into a creek Grass covers your feet. Found my ball which is a rarity if you come up short. Had to hit it with my ball so far above my feet I had to make a baseball swing. Made a small baseball swing with my 56 to about 5ft and made the birdie.

A foot or two shorter on my second shot and I would have been in the creek with a drop zone that makes it tough to even bogey from or a bad baseball swing and I bury my ball in the bank and struggle to make 8. I'll take the birdie.
