Some American terminology is OK, like bounce back, but I've always thought double eagle as a bit naff.
If you check out borntobesting's replays you'll see how to do the shot properly.
Then I have 2 albatross a sauresis. They are on my replays. I like them way better than my 2 HIO's. A HIO on a par 3 is not near as cool as holing out the second shot on a par 5 from 256 yrds.
I've always wondered where "double eagle" came from. If -2 on any hole is an eagle then a double eagle should be -4 on a hole surely.
It's an albatross in my book.
yeah... if +2 is a double bogey then -2 would technically be a double birdie(for names sake). But with all the cool birds out there Eagle works great for -2 and for that rare feat of -3, Albatross is quite fitting (rare bird indeed)
Tonto. Albatrosses(sea bird), are highly efficient in the air, using dynamic soaring and slope soaring to cover great distances with little exertions. Hope this helps with terminology. Peace Out, boozy
I got this 338yd 'lip out' from the tee :(
If you look at Johniedino's stats you will see that WGT scored it as both a Hole in One and a Double Eagle. That being said if you are anywhere but the USA it would be called an Albatross instead of a Double Eagle so to answer your question it would be all three.
Hole in one on a par 5 = Condor = 4 under par
Hole in one on a par 4 = Albatross = 3 under par
Hole in one on a par 3 = Eagle = 2 under par
One under par = Birdie
Not just on St Andrews but everywhere the R&A rules apply.
EWWW I need a Condor!
