>Was it a double eagle.
No. It was a par 3 hole. It is an eagle (2 under par) but they call it a hole in one. A hole in one on a par 4 hole would be a double eagle. A 2 on a par 5 is the most common double eagle although they are very rare. I almost made one. My second shot landed on the greem, took a 5-6 ft. bounce the a few dribbles then a roll to the hole. The ball landed about 20 feet from the hole. The ball lipped the cup on the left side made a right turn spinning around the lip and settled less than an inch from the hole. I didn't see it. It was early morning and there was dew on the green.
