my first eagle

after starting golf not much more than 15 months agoi realy got the bug and always wanted to get some good scores in. Im from the uk and was playing a course on the cost of cornwall right near lands end. one of the holes is a medium par 4 which the tee shot is way higher than the fairway,, then you walk down to an uphill fairway that then reaches a peak and drops down to a green. the fairway has a steep drop to thick brambles etc to the right and the left side was guarded by a tall stone wall. I decided to play safe and hit a 3 iron, which i absolutely creamed but my aiming was rubbish and the ball carried untill landing on top of the wall and bounching way up into the air. that was that lost i thought, so i teed up another and hit that ok-ish on the fair way. on reaching the green a lady on the tee to the left of the green said were you hitting a pts solo number 3 with ash on it. i sed yep and she sed its on the tee. I couldnt believe it really, i had hit a 3 iron onto a wall and had bounced to a resting place that was a bit more than 300 yards from the tee. obviously as of the bounce and the downhill fairway one the hole it was on. so i got out my wedge and had a blind shot over this wall. i hit a nice clean shot to where my friend from the b&b had told me was the best place to aim. I couldnt actually see at this point but i was told it didnt go there but instead pitched nicely on the green, span a bit before looking as if it was gonna stop on the edge of the cup and then dropping in. He looked at me in disbelief, that i could have that much luck on a hole when i was off 28 and never played the course n my life and he was off 7. that was my first eagle any way, thanks for reading, sorry about the legnth.
