I dove headfirst into golf about 2 years ago, and as a former baseball player (and 38 year old with lots of medical issues), it's been one hell of a struggle! I've spent a ton of time at the range but finally got out to play a couple of rounds over the last few months.
Today was full of ups and downs. A few pars, lots of bogeys. Many doubles and triples 🙈
Walking up to the 18th tee, I figured I would be ending my 3rd full round without a birdie – but the golf gods clearly didn't want me giving up on this nutty game.
Par 5, 485 from the blues. Usually I'm slice city but I surprisingly cut a 270 yard drive on the right side of the fairway. Approach shot lands about 20 feet from the hole and I'm staring down an uphill right to left putt for eagle 😰
"I'm probably going to 4-putt this" I naturally tell myself, but to my surprise, my eagle putt missed by only 3 feet leaving me with my first ever birdie.
This may not mean much to all of you reading, but I'm beyond ecstatic, and with my wife out of town this week, I needed somewhere to express my excitement.

Gratz! Your shirt reminds me of the Saved by the Bell intro.
lol that’s awesome, good job. Did it with a golf ball that hasn’t been produced in 20 years no less!
My man!

Fuckin rights bro congrats!
Awesome! What course? Looks beautiful
Dude, hell yes! I got my first Par on a par 3, and that feeling hits hard! Can’t wait for a birdie
Does it really take that long for most people to have their first birdie? I’ve had 2 so far been golfing a few months.
Love the story, grow the game for people like you!
Hell yeah bro, congrats ✊
