Double eagles are rare!

I don't know if I've ever seen a pro hit one.

It's more rare than a hole in one.

And I just looked it up, yes, for some reason it IS also called an albatross.

You can get a double eagle if you hit a hole in one on a par 4, but nobody would call it that.

Only a non golfing Googlerite would attempt to make a correction here that a Double Eagle is an "Albatross". I've never heard it and it's never been used on any PGA tournament coverage since it is such a ridiculous term.

They might as well call a shot into a water hazard a "Turtle shot" or a "Fish Splash".............

You heard it here first.........LOL!

Once saw the odds for scoring a double eagle after reading about Gene Sarazen's at Augusta.

After your 1000th hole-in-one, you are ready for your 1st double eagle.
