How Many Eagles Have You Had?

Albatrosses are very much like hole in ones, you tend to recall them quite vividly. Even years later.

Yep - got one in 2008 at Springs near Wallingford

3rd hole - the thinnest 3 wood second shot from about 230 and some how just kept running nearly went into the bunker but smacked the pin and droppedn

None. 15 index. Been playing about 10 years.

How many birdies have you had (I know you have access to this information)?

A hole in one on a par 4 would be a special type of albatross!

The first HIO I ever witnessed was on a par 4.
And the chap who had it was playing in a bogey comp - what a waste!

Yep, 2011 on our Par 5 7th, good drive then caught my 3 Wood lovely, knew it was towards the green, but fairway slopes from left to right by the green and there is a bunker on the right, thought at most I might of reached the bunker, no sign of it when we got there.

Went to see if I’d gone through the green and found it when I checked the hole on the way.

Our 4Ball witnessed one on our Par 4 9th, waited for the guys behind us to see whose drive it was, only to find out the guy was 3 off the Tee as his first ball he hit OOB.

Just 1 for me, drove the green and a one putt
Have had loads of other opportunities but the putts or chips haven’t dropped.

1 eagle on a par 3 in competition.

1 eagle on a par 4 in competition.

Not sure how many on a par 5 - probably 5+ including yellow tees.

But the eagle 3 in competition was part of one of my best rounds ever to win a big two-day event.

Birdie on a par 3 treated better than an eagle ?

A HIO will be seen as better because it’s completing a hole in one shot - yep stat wise it’s 2 under par but surely it’s clear to see why it’s seen a little differently

Indeed....
The majority of club comps will have a 2s pot.....
Get a birdie on a par 3 and you get rewarded...get an eagle and it's...Just an eagle
There's no Eagles Pot.......
Get an eagle on a par 3 and all sorts of things happen.
Get an eagle on a par 5 and.......Just an eagle
