So going on from the recent thread, which is more common, a Hole in One or an Albatross on a par 5?!?!
and which one is more satisfying??

I was the 'unfortunate' person who got the albatross but has never had a hole in one. I would swap it in a heartbeat! Like Monty would swap all his ryder cups for a major! Hole in one every time
 
i would have to agree with above,i haven't had an albatross but to me it would feel obviously a little bit better than an eagle on a par 4 but just not as good as a hole in 1.

i'd rather have the hole in 1.

and maybe one on a par 4.....2 birds with 1 stone :)
 
One of my mates has played Whitekirk near North Berwick twice, 1'st time round he had an albatross 1 on par 4 2nd hole, second time he hit it to about a foot, tap in eagle 2. 5 under total for one only playing it twice, now that's lucky :o
