lol. Thanks for clarifying, haha. I was stumped for a minute.

All are talking about how hard it is to make that double eagle, it is nearly impossible, but we see it can happen.

I believe the odds of that are greater than getting a hole in one. My husband has 5 hole in ones, got 2 of them last year, a day after the tournament that gave away a car. hahaha. Oh, well we would have to pay taxes on that anyway.

He is of course an amateur and 75 yrs old. He wants one more to tie another man in the club.

Here I am, to the rescue of golf dummies like me:

A double-eagle is a rare bird on the golf course - much rarer than a hole-in-one.

To make a double-eagle requires acing a par-4 hole or scoring 2 on a par-5 hole.

The unscientific odds of scoring a double-eagle are about a million-to-one. The unscientific odds of scoring a hole-in-one are about 13,000-to-one.

(Discrepancies in odds will occur due to the disparate skills of professionals in match play....and everyday duffers on their local links.....plus lack of verifiable records....in other words the odds stated are merely educated guesses.).

Trust me...God Himself loves golf, created it as the only honest game, and then shared it with us humans to amuse himself as he watches us struggle with it...

I picture God with a 1000 inch flat screen, Dolby Surround Sound set to theater mode, kicking back in his "Media" room (cloud), saying, "Dang it, biy...stop with the three putts already."
