My first birdie was at Electra GC, in Electra TX (a goat track). It was on the first hole, a ~300 yd par 4. I finally listened to my dad and hit his 2i off the tee instead of driver, found the fairway, hit PW to around 10', and made the putt, obviously.
My first eagle was a year later at Quanah CC, in Quanah TX, again playing with my dad. Hole #3 iirc, a short 455 yd par 5. I hit my trusty old Ben Hogan speed slot 3w right down the middle. Hit 3w again and ended up on the green with 25' to the hole. Drained the putt.
The funny part about it was that a couple of older gentlemen had caught up to us on the tee and we asked if they wanted to play through. They said they would just play along with us if that was ok, and that they were no good. I said, sure, I'm not any good either. Then I go and eagle the hole. They looked at me like I was the biggest jacka$$ in the world and was trying hustle them or something. I said, just stick around. I went to he next hole, pulled driver, and sliced it off the course into the adjacent farmers field.
