Thought your ultimate golf dream would be a hole in one on a par 5. It has been done.
Without google does anyone know what one better than an albatross is? (not the American version)

No but I'm intrigued!
also dont know and resisting google as I'm sure I've heard it before, its another large bird afaik but none are ringing any bells with me...so far
Aye it's a bird, and you'd expect the ball to need a flight comparable to its namesake to reach a par five....
***cant take the glory on this as much as I knew it once I was told. It was actually the mrs, who likes golf about as much as I do tv soaps that plucked it from the air. Lord only knows where she's heard it before!

Double eagle.
I've had two albatrosses, both 2's on shortish par-5 holes, and one hole-in-one. I would rate the albatrosses more highly, because they are 3 under par, but a hole-in-one on a par-3 is only 2 under par.

I thought they called that a Condor. Not sure if that is the official name but think I've heard it a couple of times.

Sorry senior moment.
As Condor used to be a pipe tobacco brand name perhaps the UK should call it a Old Hoburn Best Shag.
:rofl: reminds me of many trips to Holland where they had Shag machines at the airport, made us laugh but we were only 18
