Almost an Eagle

Almost an Eagle,
originally uploaded by Kinmar.

I came that close to making an eagle on a fairly long par 4 while playing golf w/ my dad yesterday. I had a great drive that left me with about 160 yds to the green. There was water to the right of the green and the flag was just right of center. I decided to play it safe and aim for the left part of the green. I walked up to my ball and took my shot. It landed right where I had aimed, but it kept rolling with the slope of the green in a slow arch until it found its resting spot in the picture above. Any more movement and it would have rolled right off the green. It was one of those moments that seemed to play out in slow motion. And yes I hit the birdie put :-).
