They also changed #6 on Ike, splitting the fairway in two tiers instead of a steep side-slope that was basically impossible to hit. Some bunkers were moved to more strategic positions as well.

BTW, Fred Couples held the official course record on the old Ike: 71. So not only was breaking 70 best of the best, it never happened.
They are not in the same spots. There are 12 tees that are no longer there. Freddy's record was 69. But, you are right, ice plant is gone.

And you and you're buddy did it!
That is truly impressive!

You're name wouldn't happen to be Steve Thomas, would it?
There can't be believers on the net or it wouldn't be the net. Since you are so gung ho on looking for odds.

Me and my 2 friends playing Mt. Woodson. I think 3rd hole par 3. 185 downhill, back flag. I get up, hit an 8 iron, hit the flag, 3 feet. Friend hits 7 iron, hits the bottom of the flag, 15 feet. 3rd friend hits 8 iron, hits flag, goes in the crap. Marshal saw the whole thing. Odds?

Making a birdie on all 4 par 3's is not once in a lifetime nor is an eagle on a 4 par 5's, nor is 13 birdies in a round. It of course is harder being in a tournament but not even close in a casual round.

And yes, it was impressive, thanks.

Mt Woodson = FUN. What's the par 3 that's the downhill postage stamp? My dad and I were there in '96 and we played during the Santa Anna winds and it was like 50mph sideways (left to right on that shot) and we seriously had the ball move 60yds on us! (We had played it earlier when it wasn't in the winds, and went back unbeknownst to us that the winds would be there that day).

Also, there are 2 par 5s back to back right? I think one is uphill 590 or something, the next is downhill 450? The first took 3 full shots (driver/3w/3w) into the 50mph wind, the 2nd I drove :P

Postage stamp one is the one I'm talking about, #3.

You're talking about 13/14. They're actually close to the same distance wise. I think 13 might be 15/20 yards longer. Driving 14 is impressive. I've had swedge in but that's 80 yards short and I hit it pretty far sometimes. Fun little course because you have a chance to drive 7 holes there but if you're not straight, you can make double quick. Great skins game course.

It's not that I'm so gung ho on odds, but I do find it fascinating that they don't apply in your world.

You are full of amazing tales. Keep them coming.

While I think this would be extremely hard to do, and very, very, very rare, I do think it is possible. For good players (especially ones with some distance) that play the same course almost every day of the year, you're going to have a lot of chances. I've made 2 in a round (9 holes as well) numerous times. Don't think I've ever scared 3 in a round, but I've definitely had days hitting no more than 5 iron into every par 5, so it's not out of the realm of possibility I guess.

It's also possible that I'm banging Natalie Gulbis.

If it has happened before, my money's on Kim Jong Il.

None are tales and I'm not here to prove anything. I'm telling lies about having 4 birdies on all par 3's? That's not a once in a lifetime for the last time. To people above scratch I'm sure it probably is. Not for a player.

People here doubt everything. They doubt when you say you can hit it 320, they doubt when you say you have course records, everything. So how do you prove things over a forum. Play a round? Sure, bring your wallet.

Will I birdie all Par 3's, eagle all par 4's, hit the flag, make a hole-in-one? Maybe, maybe not but I'll walk home with the money. I've done everything I've said, no need to lie. And typed this almost falling over in an earthquake!

I got 3/4 one time with a par on the other one, and I am roughly a 20 handicap. It was the best round of my life, finished with a 4-over 76. One of the birdies i missed a hole-in-one about one inch short of the cup.

Just noticed this,

"Will I birdie all Par 3's, eagle all par 4's, hit the flag, make a hole-in-one? Maybe, maybe not "

That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

How could anyone possibly be a match for you. I mean, having birdied all par 3's "well over 10 times",
having eagled all 4 par 5's "a few times",....

I'd bet on you against Tiger!

blive, see no one doubts posts like this on here. In fact, we usually congratulate people on achievements like this. Your "achievements" are just so blatantly false that we laugh at you.

Odds this happened? I dunno...

Odds this happened AND the marshal saw it? zilch haha

For some reason including that the marshal saw it makes me want to call bull**** but I don't know and really I don't care either.

for that matter i don't even know if i've eagled all the par 5s in a round on tiger woods golf on the gamecube and i shoot in the mid 50s in that game all the time.

although this forum being what it is people will probably call me out for claiming to shoot in the 50s on a video game -- i miss the days of links LS when golf games were actually kind of realistic.

It occurs to me that "making birdie on a par 3/eagle on a par 5" might be code for wanking. In which case, as a teenager I once birdied all four par 3s and the three par 5s (par 71 course) before breakfast.

eta: It was on my home course, of course.

Anyone that is a 1 or below is a match for me. There is no way to prove the story about the marshal except for you to call Mt. Woodson and ask any pro since it was a story that was talked about for some time. I'm sure the Marshal is still there.

"I'd bet on you against Tiger!" When we were in Juniors yeah but there were a ton of us that could do the same thing..i.e Chris Riley, Eddie Lee, Ted Oh and a host of others. Now, not even close, Mr. Sarcastic. Add beating Tiger as a list of no ways to this thread because no one could ever do that, right?

The birdies on all par 3's is the biggest joke if you think it's once in a lifetime. The Eagles on all par 5's has happened a few times. Once at Eagle Glen and once The Retreat. Course records at both but you can call to confirm that and I'm sure people will vouch for the Par 3 convo as well as the Par 5. Is 2 eagles on 2 par 4's same round too late to add? Is 7 holes in one? 2 double Eagles? 59 on a par 70? 8 birdies to start a round? 126 foot putt? 5 putt from 3 feet on 18 to lose by 1 in a Golden State?<---course you will believe that.

No way else to prove it.

Except to play. I'll make an open invitation to anyone. If you are around Vegas to So Cal, I'll go to you, if not, meet in the middle and play for whatever you want. I prefer to play for Bags. This especially goes out to Ntnbo, Jtrout and Butcho22. Anyone else is more than welcome.

No where have I said that 4 birdies on all par 3's is once in a lifetime.
But that's quite different than "more than 10 times" and "me and my buddy did it playing together" and "Mac has done it several times both left and right handed" and "eagled all par 5's a few times" and..... well you get the point.

You ever get to Mississippi, we'll play for bags. I'm not hard to find.

Edit:
Anyone else gets to Tupelo and wants to play, the golf is on me and we'll play for a beer.

Ok blive, I just want to make sure I'm understanding what you're saying.

You have eagled all 4 par 5's in a 18 hole round more than once correct?


Idk how, but can someone check and see if anyone on any tour has ever eagled just 3 before?
