Anyone have a legit double eagle (albatross)?

[Thumber]

I aced a par 4 in a stiff wind....does that count?

No, sorry. Windy days aren't considered fair.

I want a double eagle now, I just got my first 3 on an 820 foot hole the other day, I was so happy...

I have actually come closer to an albatross in ball golf. I haven't played many par 4's or 5's in DG to be able to have much of a chance to get one.

Lulz....but guys talking 700+ feet but way downhill is? One of our courses here is a mountain course and 700 feet downhill is not very far at all depending on the elevation change. I have seen buzzes thrown 500+

I voted no but with loose standards I have two. The one I feel decent about was on the back 9 of Woodland Valley's Black Bear Course. I can't remember the exact hole but it's a 500 - 600 ft shot down a moderately wooded hill. My drive banged off a tree near the bottom and bounced right under the basket for a drop in 2. It was listed as a par 5 when I did it but has since been downgraded to a 4. The other -3 on a single hole was hole 16 at Boom Field. While uphill, it's only 380ft. and listed as a par 5 so it doesn't really count, but I hit a 50ft upshot for the 2 a while back. Gotta say, at the time I didn't think "shouldn't these be par 3?" when I was checking off the score!

i came close hit basket chains twice in about 100+ times playing this one.

but thats am par on sign.

 

[denny ritner]

if y'all want to count goofy-signpar-albatrosses, i've made lots of 3's on hole 18 at cliff stephens and witnessed 2's and the sign says "par 7".

What a horrible thread.....

 

[kyflash]

Basically this thread is now on a crash course to a debate on what is par. Some courses are legit par 60+ and others aren't. The point of the thread was on these par 60+ courses where there are legit par 5+'s, have you gotten a double eagle? If you count everything as a par 3 then you're excluding yourself from this discussion.

Exactly.

double Eagle

Isnt an ace on a par 4 technically a couble eagle? :wall:

Yes...

 

[solomon.trenton]

False. Some holes are legit par 4's, 5's, or even 6's, and are played as such. Rare? Yes. But do they happen? Yes, more than you might think.

this. look at maple hill gold. there are 7 par 4s and a couple of those could be 5s

 

[optidiscic]

It's interesting but none of the par 4s and 5s in my region enable an albatross. I just don't think it is really possible.
Perhaps a couple of the longer pin positions at Tinicum but overall I don't see anyone getting an albatross around here

Avery Jenkins did duece the 800+ final hole at Tinicum. That's a legendary eagle around here requiring a 600+ drive followed by a 200+ "putt" in worlds 2005 action.

There are 2 par 5s and 20 par 4s and I've never heard of any albatrosses ever.

Geoff Bennett deuced, fairway aced, double eagled, albatross or whatever the par 5 hole 7 long tee to green basket at Patapsco. He hit his 200' second shot after a nice FH roller off the tee. Only deuce I've heard of on that hole.

 

[magictenor1]

saw a guy get a 2 on a par 5 from about 200 or so out but the hole is a little suspect for a 5. more like a legitimate par 4.

 

[Dsplayname]

I have 2 eagles. I thought I had 3, but the dumbass pars at East Roswell call a long hole with 2 doglegs a 3, and a short hole with one turn a 4. Most of the very few par 5s around here are not laid out to facilitate a double eagle, and I don't have the arm for it anyway.

 

[jobwilson]

I remember seeing on Flyboy's Facebook page that Phil Arthur/Eric McCabe got an Albatross on hole 27. Granted, it was doubles. But still, a very cool 2!

 

[solomon.trenton]

I have a few eagles. some are pretty legitimate others not so much. no doubles though
