<\/p>\nRUSH: Snerdley just asked me what was the best moment of my weekend. I had vowed not to talk about it. You know, I don\u2019t talk about myself. All right. Let me see if I can… Look at the clock. Okay. I played golf yesterday. The people I was supposed to play with got sick and couldn\u2019t play. So it was just me playing by myself with my caddie, which is good, because I played 27 holes in three hours, and you really get through this, and there\u2019s no time to get down on yourself, no time to get pessimistic. No time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just, bam, bam, bam you go. Number 17 at the course I played is a par 5, a 500-yard par 5, and the second shot (if you hit a decent enough drive), you have to get over a couple of pretty tall trees if you have any prayer at all of either going for the green or getting close to it. Otherwise, you have to go to around those trees, and there\u2019s no way that you can get on the green in two. But your drive has to be perfectly placed, which mine was. It was about 290 yards.<\/p>\n
I had a little uphill lie after it was all over, following wind that helped the drive. So I grabbed my Hybrid 3, the Rescue version of a 3-iron. I\u2019ve got 213 yards to the pin. I\u2019ve got these two trees. They\u2019re not tiny. I mean, they\u2019re not sky-high, but you\u2019ve got to have a club that\u2019s gonna get you over those trees. Normally a 3-iron, 5-iron, 6-iron (unless you know what you\u2019re doing), you\u2019re not gonna be able to get over them. You can\u2019t get there — I couldn\u2019t — with anything less than a 4-iron.<\/p>\n

So I grabbed the Rescue 3, the Hybrid 3, and I made sure in the backswing to get the club up. I flushed it. I flushed it. It had a perfect right-to-left draw (“curve,” for those of you in Rio Linda), and as I\u2019m watching… I flushed it, folks. There\u2019s nothing… You flush a golf shot right in middle of the club face, it just feels almost orgasmic. I\u2019m watching it and I\u2019m watching it, and I say, “Darn it, it\u2019s drawing too much. It\u2019s gonna end up maybe pin high but left and maybe in a bunker.” So I give up looking at it. The caddie says, “Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It could have gone in! It could have gone in!”<\/p>\n
I said, “No, no. It\u2019s way too far left.” So we get up there and we\u2019re looking for the ball. We look beyond the green, can\u2019t find it. We look to the right of the green, which trails off into the water; we can\u2019t find it. We look for it everywhere. Is it short? We went back 50 yards, couldn\u2019t find it. The caddie says, “It\u2019s gotta be in there. It\u2019s gotta be in!” So he walks up to the cup, peers down, into the cup, looks up in frustration, puts his hands on his hips.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s in there!” he said. “It\u2019s in there! You holed it!”<\/p>\n
So I had a double eagle from 213 yards with a Hybrid 3. I\u2019ve got the picture pulling the ball out of the cup. I\u2019ve got a picture of ball in the cup with Rush EIB on it. Titleist number 30 for 30 years broadcast anniversary, and I\u2019m told that never in the history of this course has there been a double eagle, 213 yards. It hit. We found the ball, it hit about five yards short of the green on the left, and kicked right and rolled almost the length of the green. The cup was way at the back of the green. It rolled almost the length of the green to get back in the hole.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: By the way, folks, one thing about my double eagle, in the official world of golf, it never happened because there were no witnesses. If you hit a hole-in-one and it\u2019s just you playing by yourself and you tell people you had a hole-in-one, they\u2019ll say, “Fine and dandy,” but it doesn\u2019t go in any book, it doesn\u2019t count, because there aren\u2019t any witnesses. You have to be playing in a threesome or foursome where everybody sees it.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the same thing here with a shot like a double eagle. The caddie and I saw it. It happened. But in the world of golf it didn\u2019t happen because there are no witnesses. And since people are people and lie and make things up you have to discount it. But it doesn\u2019t matter to me. It happened. I did it. And I had a great time telling you about it. But it won\u2019t count for anything. Like the club where it happened will make no official mention of it \u2018cause it hasn\u2019t been witnessed, hasn\u2019t been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Golf is a game of many things, including honor. And even though everybody who plays the game is considered to bring honor and respect for the rules of golf — except Goldfinger in Oddjob, they didn\u2019t, but other people do. Even with those assumptions, you still have to have shots like that witnessed before they are officially recognized.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Ron, great to have you with us, sir, hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n
RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n
CALLER: I called about your double eagle, but I must thank you first. Back in the mid-nineties, I was in my thirties, had no idea what I was politically, but luckily I didn\u2019t have Lori Loughlin as my parent, but I enrolled in the institute and I\u2019m much smarter today.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. And put it in a prime spot to get there.<\/p>\n
