  • Question - does Jeff have "game?"

    Yes - here are two pieces of evidence

    Jeff made two double eagles in three months! The first was at Nob North on #7 where he hit a 5-iron from 200 yards. The second was at Dalton Golf & Country Club, with a 4-iron from 205 yards on #10. "So what," you may say? Double eagles are more rare than holes in one, see this text and:

    Dean Knuth, former director of handicapping at the U.S. Golf Association, responds: "A hole-in-two on a par 5 for a double eagle is harder because a player has to hit an accurate long drive on a first shot and a perfect second shot. In the case of the hole-in-one, there is 'only' the perfect shot to hit. Odds on a double eagle have not been worked out, but the U.S. Open would be a good comparison. There has been only one double eagle in the U.S. Open--by T.C. Chen at Oakland Hills in 1985--while holes-in-one at the U.S. Open happen almost every year.

    Second piece of evidence: Jeff just returned from San Francisco, where he hit a ball over the Golden Gate Bridge:

    Jeff hits a huge drive

    That's a drive of over 7,500 yards!
