It can be anything from score to playing a exclusive course or whatever is important to you.
I belonged to Fort Bend CC in Richmond TX for 15 years. It was a 6600 yard course from the back tees and was built in 1955.
During that time period I was able to eagle 6 of the 18 holes.
Par 4, #1 - driver, 9 iron in the hole
Par 3, # 7 - hole in one
Par 4, #7 - Driver, 9 iron in the hole
Par5, # 9, 12, 14 - on in 2 and 1 putt.
Other - When I moved to Greatwood, the first time that I got to use my resident discount. From the Blue tees on number 18 Island green, I hit a Titleist 975D driver and the original Tight Lies 16* on to the green and made the putt. Luckily I had 7 witnesses.
I has a double eagle on a par 5 at Frasch Park in Sulfur Louisiana . I couldn't see it go in , but my playing partner ahead of me was jumping up and down.. I remember that had just converted the greens to Mini Verde grass.
Now I play the white tees, getting old sucks lol..

I’ve holed out from the fairway 5 times from over 100 yards (one of which was an albatross) but I have not hit a hole-in-one.

I have 2 hole in ones.
1994: 160 with a 7 iron
2021: 142 with a 7 iron
The 2021 club is longer and has a stronger loft than the 1994 club.
The manufacturers have reduced loft and lengthened shafts over the years.

You guys must all be pretty good, my only achievement is losing a ball on all 18 holes of my home course

Similar, I’ve holed out from the fairway from 150+ out 4 times and also have zero holes in one. Been close many times but no such luck so far

Not to brag, but I once played a full front 9 with the same ball.

5 birdies in a row
Played a round with my grandfather, great uncle, and dad. There was one stroke separating all four of us at the end. Best loss of my life. My great uncle was 78 and shot his age.

I've had many birdie putts I have turned into boogies. Think 3 today alone.
Posted on 10/15/26 at 4:14 pm to bopper50
I can birdie a par 5 then finish the very next hole (a 157 yard par 3) with a 9 like a champ.

Does killing 3 birds.. 2 mid-flight and one on the group count as a unique achievement??

Albatross on # at Stonebridge in Bossier.
Went two months without playing and my first round back was at some random course in Texas I had never played before and shot a 67 with a double bogey. Still my career low round. Numerous 68's.
Only one hole in one (this year) in 27 years of playing though.

Shot my age twice, 68 when I was 68 and 69 when I was 69. Both rounds at The Island in Plaquemine. I have come close to shooting my age at 70, but not quite.

I had a hole in one in a High School State Golf Tournament and my Dad was able to see it
I also was able to bang the Cart Girl behind the cart barn when I was in college

Similar to KingofthePoint, I do have a double-eagle(pretty rare bird) but have never scored a hole-in-one…
