SLIPPERY ROCK — Scoring an eagle on a golf course is not an earth-shattering accomplishment for Jacob Wolak.

The Slippery Rock High junior has about 10 eagles — shooting 2-under par on a hole — in his young career, including tournament play this summer.

But shooting an eagle on back-to-back holes?

“That was pretty surprising,” Wolak admitted.

Amazing, actually.

He turned the trick on hole No.'s 16 and 17 while producing a record-setting score on the back-nine Wednesday during a District 10, Region 2 match at Deer Creek Golf Course in Hubbard, Ohio.

Merle Whitmer has been Slippery Rock High School's golf coach for 37 years and said: “I know none of the kids I've coached has ever done that ... I don't think I've ever seen anybody do that.”

Wolak's first eagle occurred on a 495-yard, par-5 hole. He hit his drive approximately 300 yards, then used an 8-iron to plop the ball on to the green.

The putt for eagle was 30 feet — and he drained it.

“That putt was unexpected,” Wolak said. “I never figure on making a putt from that far away. I was trying to get it close and it went in.”

The No. 17 hole was a 250-yard par-4. Hitting into the wind, Wolak said the hole “played a lot longer than that.”

He used a driver off the tee and the ball's backspin allowed it to rest 10 feet from the hole for the second eagle putt.

“After that went in, I was thinking about shooting a 29 on the back-nine,” Wolak said. “I needed to sink a 15-foot putt for birdie to pull that off.

“It rolled just off the lip. I missed it by maybe the width of a golf ball.”

Wolak shot a 30 on the back-nine, setting a Slippery Rock High School and course record. Par on the back-nine at Deer Creek is 36. The previous course record was 32.

The back-nine at Deer Creek was constructed in 1987.

“It's rare for anyone to break a course record by two strokes,” Whitmer said.

Wolak had two birdies to go with his two eagles on the back. He parred the other five holes.

He shot a 67 for the day — one shot short of Brett Rinker's school-record for 18 holes.

“People couldn't even believe we played today,” Whitmer said. “It had rained so much earlier. There were puddles all over the place.

“To shoot a bogey-free round on the back-nine in conditions like that was incredible. There was no roll at all. Jacob got every inch of distance through the air.”

Wolak said the ball “just plugged right where it landed on virtually every shot.”

The 6-foot-0, 150-pound Wolak averages 300 to 310 yards off the tee. He has two goals remaining in terms of high school golf.

Break Rinker's school-record 66 and win a state championship. He came hauntingly close to matching the former on Wednesday.

“That's why I really wanted that 15-foot putt at the end,” Wolak said.

Wolak reached the national semifinals in the youth Drive, Chip and Putt competition in consecutive years. He last competed in that event three years ago.

He plans to play golf in college as well. Wolak's future in the sport looks bright.

“But what he did today was pretty special,” Whitmer said.
