I "drove" a 400 yard par 4 when I was 13.
I say "drove" because that was the listed yardage if you played the hole as laid out. This was in a tournament on a mountain course on top of a mountain in the Appalachians.
I was a little dude until I was about 15 or 16, and to get that extra distance, I hit a draw. Well, on off days, that turned into a two way with either a snap hook or a big, high, towering push.
The hole basically wrapped around the top of the mountain going clockwise with woods on both sides going all the way to the green. Stepped up on my first one and hit the biggest, most powerful high push you could ever imagine...about 50 yards right of where I was aiming. Thought it was in the woods for sure.
Hit a provisional down the fairway. Got to my ball, maybe 130 or 140 out. Was looking at the green and thought "huh, that looks like a ball on the green". Had one of my playing partners walk up to the green with me, and sure enough, it was my first drive, sitting about 20 feet from the hole. Two putts for birdie and went from a surefire double or worse to a birdie in the blink of an eye - never felt luckier on a golf course than that.
As the crow flies, the carry was probably like 230 or 235 to the green.

Pretty lengthy list
Finished a round on Huntsville Municipal 15 minutes ahead of the tornado
Shot my age at 62. The Senator at Capitol Hill. 7 birdies in a row from 4-10.
9 aces. Last was the day before my oldest daughter’s wedding. Gave my new Son In Law a goal to strive for. 17 years later he hasn’t even come close to making one.
2 Albatross
13 under after 15 at Twin Pines near Russellville, AL and got rained out. Still upset about that one. I was thinking 55 was a possibility.
Shot 78 at Shoal Creek from the tips the week after the PGA in 91.
Lost to Stewart Cink in the shoals shootout. Think he was 17 at the time.
I’ve played a lot

ETA: hit an eagle today at top golf spyglass hill virtual course on a par 5 from the whites.

My name is on the wall of three different golf clubs either for winning the club championship or winning the clubs notable annual event. One board includes Ben Hogan

The 90 was aided by a sinus infection and a nasty winter storm, that day sucked!

1 Hole in One and I've eagled a couple of short par 4's
Posted on 10/16/26 at 10:03 am to bopper50
Shot 43/33 once 
Stood on 13 tee -3 and shot 76
I probably had 10 or more eagles before ever making my first one with a putter.
Played Haig Point
That's it

1 hole in one when I was fairly new to the game and pretty terrible. Haven't come close since.

That is something.
That course beat me up literally. I blew out a disc in my neck trying to hit out of that crazy saltgrass.

And I knew you when.
I saw Baca the other day. His Dad lives the next street over from me.
Posted on 10/16/26 at 11:06 am to bopper50
I've sliced a ball from #2 tee at Webb almost to the street by the #8 cartpath. Sunk the next shot from 180 out over the pond and trees for eagle, only saw it disappear over the hill to the back pin

I'm slow, but my fastest round of Speed Golf is 72 minutes. One day I hope to play in a local tournament just to say I did it.

This is a cool thread, so here is my golf story.
I took over for a PE teacher at a school mid school year one year. He was the golf coach, so he told me I would be "coaching" golf. Up to that point, had never played golf in my life. He told me a dad pretty much handles practice, just worry about the scheduling and being at practices/events.
So, going to practice a few times a week, I started hitting a few golf balls. I was terrible at it, but it was fun. Next thing you know, I'm buying my own golf clubs have a membership to a golf club. I played a lot of golf in around a 5 year period, which included three lessons in there whenever I was playing 3-4 times per week.
Closest I ever came to hitting a hole in 1, was pretty early in my journey. It was a low, terrible shot, but luckily rolled up to about 3 feet.
Anyway, I never got "good," but I did start to get better. Towards the end, I had taken my third lesson and playing very often. I broke a legit 90 three rounds in a row (i know this isn't great...but for me it was). At that point, I had to decide if I want to keep grinding, take another lesson, and keep pushing to break 80, or if I wanted to stop being so serious about it. I attempted to schedule a lesson, and the club pro kept being wishy washy. Took that as my sign, and gave it up. Now if I play golf, it's with friends, with beer, and to just mess around.

I was 16 years old in 1970 when I knocked in a driver off the deck from 260 yards out on a par 5. The shot was for a birdie because I hit my first drive OB and was lying 3 in the fairway when I hit the shot.
I used a Macgregor VIP driver and a Maxfli balata ball. The hole was part of my first sub-70 round in a tournament.

I eagled every hole at my home course in high school other than the 4 par 3s.
Had a round of 14/14 fairways and 18/18 greens once.
Same course, was 7 under on the front, birdied 10 and 12, then got rained out. Needed 2 more under to break the course record but never got close after that.
