Off the couch! Bedtime here in Oz, but breakfast will come around again before too long...
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

What a pleasant breakfast treat! I'm off the couch, now trying to solve the MilkeyG (EEK!). But as for your puzzle well; it was like these:

Off the couch. Missed it on my first try, but after a couple of hours on the mower thinking about it, I saw the light.

After my first shot ended up in the sand trap, I lined up my next shot and ended up getting an eagle on the hole.

Oh, that was a dream - but I am off the couch on my second attempt. Thanks for the breakfast treat.
