Isn't an eagle on a par 3 a hole-in-one?

Yes, but it's still an eagle.

I remember my first par in a round that mattered and I think I remember my first par, but might be imagining it. When I first got my handicap, I had to play one round and my handicap would be based off what my score was for the day. On the sixth hole, which was the index four hole (and still gets me now regularly) I sliced my drive into the woods and it clattered a tree hard and came out into the middle of the fairway. I sliced my second shot into the trees and it clattered a tree hard and came out into the middle of the fairway. I hit my third shot just short of the green and holed it from there for a four. Nice. That was on the way to shooting 106, which gave me a first handicap of 35.

I don't remember my first birdie. I don't remember my first eagle either, although I do remember the first time I eagled one of the par fives at my home course because it took me a couple of years after I'd wrapped up eagles on the other ones. Chipped in for that one.

I remember my first (and second) hole in one. They stick reasonably well. I also remember my first (and only) albatross. I will take that one to the grave.
