    Other holing out from the fairway, which seems nearly impossible since hitting the flag makes the ball speed up.  How do ya'll get eagles?  Are you able to reach Par 5's in 2?  How are you doing that?  Any tricks?

     Getting it close consistently takes skill.

    Getting in the hole from long range?  Sheer luck.  I probably have more eagles than anyone, and I can honestly say that for every shot holed out from 50+ yards, I have 100 or more that were inside 2ft. and many that hit the pin.  It's just the luck of the roll when it comes to actually getting it to drop.

    Keep trying, you'll get one!

     it is possible to get eagle on #7 in hack mode. requires great drive on  tight line and great 2nd shot and then making of 20-30fter.

    amateur mode, impossible exceptm from holing out.

    i have holed out everything except 4, 8, and 9,

    i think tibbets holed out everything except, 4, 5, 9

    like he said, him and i got 100's inside 2ft andf holed out maybe 1 from them. there are holes (like #2 or #7) where it'll only hole out from one side (cause of slope).

    i think right now, from all the holes, #2 and #7 probably easiest to hole out. then #1 and #3. hardest probably #6, then 8 and 5.

    i dont know anyone who holed out o #4 OR 9, it's very hard to do on 9, cause u need to RUN through the ruff, which only can happen extremely rare and usually by mistake. #9, it just very hard to get close.

    tibbets and i probably hit 3000-4000 shots to 4 or 9, and got replay combined, probbaly 20 times on both holes. (inside 5ft)

    there has been 1 double eagle in the game. done on hack mode, by taking extreme slope and ball carrying 220+ yards, hitting the edge of the bucker, and running 50 more yards. (1:10000 odds)  then, when you have about 210 left, u use some backspin and draw it on the green and then, 1 out of 10000 times, u'll get double eagle :P

    good luck:>

    I damn near holed out for eagle on #9 today from 180 with a hybrid.  It rolled right up the front, hit the pin and stopped on the lip of the cup 3" short.  Looked it hit the pin dead center too.  Argh.

    And of course I didn't realize that once the auto replay is done, you can't go back and 'Replay Last Shot' from the main menu so,  I wasn't able to save it. :(
