One thing I love about golf is that you can be in the middle of a grueling tournament with your competitors right there next to you, but if you make an albatross or a hole in one, everyone is all smiles and high fiving you. That is such cool sportsmanship.
@Ballyliffin Bros An eagle is 2 under par, an albatross is 3 under par it isn't 4 under par so double eagle makes no sense at all, no one says double birdie for an eagle do they.
I prefer albatross, since double-eagle makes me think it's 2x an eagle or 4 under (which would not really be possible, unless it's some wild fluke of a hole in one on par 5)
HELP NEEDED TO SETTLE A DISPUTE...Does a hole in one count on a par 4 when the Winter green is being used ? It was a 350yd par 4 and the winter green was about 20 yards from normal green (Im Angela's boyfriend..she cant hit the ball that far...yet :-D)
Jeff K I agree. It’s like a hat trick and a double hat trick in cricket. A hat trick is 3 wickets in 3 balls. A double hat trick is 4 in 4. That doesn’t make sense to me and my understanding of double.
"The rarest shot in golf"... Man, I just watched about 20 of 'em! There's something special about these. The last one came closest to the ultimate shot - hits ball, flight and *straight in the hole without bouncing on the green.* I saw it on UK TV in last year in one of the big Tournaments but it must be ultra ultra rare. Hats off to all the golfers featured in this video montage. Great skill!
My name is Robbie Hardcastle from Australia. I played golf for 20 years all up and I have never had an Albatross or an Ace on a 4. Would have been nice to have it as a memory BUT 20 years of golf has so many outstanding shots together with spectacular melt downs that cost me dearly in my child hood obsession to play on the circuit and run something. I have been more than 3 in front more times than I would like to remember to choke on the final holes and feel lower than any other event in my life by a factor of 10. Those memories haunted me and I was left like a ....... Well, there are no words to describe my despair of these rounds of golf that are just supposed to be a game. Nothing helped me overcome my dreadful feelings of failure that I once again have no adequately terrible words to describe. I am writing this in the vain hope that it may help me or someone else so that they might know they are not alone. THERE are alot of people with this story as I have found. It is an obsession drilled home in childhood under varying circumstances and are experienced in this terribly sole destroying way all the time. All I ever saw anywhere was the game of the winners. Let me tell you that there are 98 % of losers who suffer in silence and try anything to become a winner as the destruction of losing in the melt down towards the end becomes a self fullfilling prophecy until there is nothing left to try OR the pain of being defeated by the implosion of the mind and sole becomes to great. It is not because of the lack of talent, conversely it is the inability to overcome these all intensive power sucking emotions that intensify when the pressure starts or the winning line draws near. The winning for people like me NEVER comes when it counts for anything. Sad isn't it. I am a shell of a man at the age of 63 BUT...... there always seems to be a but in these awefull stories Aye! Well here's mine. I am now a Christian and whatever path has led me to Eternal life with our Heavenly Father through his Son, The Lord Jesus Is a very, very good path and we'll worth anything. I didn't intend to mention I became a Christian BUT since it is far more important than what disaster Golf played in my life I have said it. I was at a very low point in my life again 6 years ago and I got on my knees and said a prayer to God for help. I had a little radio and tuned in to the Christian station of which you will find one anywhere in Australia and did that constantly. It scared me, it fascinated me and I kept doing it. I hope that may help somebody while glorifying God for his love, mercy and power to what I thought was somebody that definitely didn't deserve it. God bless.
Daniel Berger’s is by far the most impressive. Not really a pin anyone would even think to shoot at on their 2nd and he takes it 1 yard over the water. Absolutely beautiful shot one of the best I’ve ever seen.
It SHOULDN'T be what they are paid to do. Showing the ball close up in flight is just plain fucking stupid. IT makes all shots look EXACTLY THE SAME! Just a ball against he sky. So viewers can't tell the difference between a perfect shot 325 yards down the middle of the fairway and a bad slice that lands in the adjacent fairway. A TV sports camera is supposed to be the eyes of the TV viewer, to allow them to watch the same thing that they could if they were there in person. And I guarantee you NO ONE in the gallery of a golf event watches with binoculars and follows the ball in flight.
Actually, when you watch someone hit a golf ball in person you do follow the ball in the air to see where it is going. What would you propose that the camera men do instead of following the ball?
seurynck, as someone who has been to many pro tournaments, and I mean from the start to the finish, you are 100% correct. However, the spectators do have the peripheral vision to see where it will probably land. Following the flight of the ball with the camera is just the way it is done. Not right, not wrong, just because. However, if the way they followed the ball was KKK's way, I guarantee you would not see the ball on your television. And I have stood side by side with those cameramen, and I admire their ability to do that.
Achieving a shot like any of these is my dream. In a video I saw of Gary Player he said he always aimed at the flag because if you don’t you’re never going to get it in. Every time I play now this is my strategy. A great compilation of golf
Oosthuizen's will always be favorite. First and only one I've seen on live TV, and he did it the right way - second shot on a par 5 in normal playing conditions.
he problem with watching them all in a row like this is you start to think they happen all the time.......as in, "I played a whole round today and didn't get a single albatross!!"
All of these are fairly impressive, but I think the award for best of all goes to Louis Oosthuizen at 7:08. It's one thing to go pin hunting and have it roll 15-20 feet to the hole, but to have it hit the front of a green and roll, I would have to guesstimate, probably 75 feet or so is quite another. That was incredible.
Watching this video made me realize a lot of golfers got class. When the other player makes a great shot they smile and high five each other... not a lot of shit talking against one another like other sports
... yep good on you for a huge drive, but when you see albatrosses being made by holing a mid-iron? In his college days JB Holmes treated all reachable par fives as par fours and adjusted the par for the course (mentally) to reflect this. Having said all that, this is a great video!
Ive gotten one before, it was total luck. I never go for the green in two, but I had a perfect drive and decided to use a hybrid and go straight at it. A couple of lucky bounces later and it went in! I've never even gotten an eagle before, but I've gotten a double eagle. Lol.
Luck will always be a factor of course. A couple of the shots in this video were wildly off the mark and took a lucky bounce. I'm glad you had that experience Shane. What course were you playing?
Watch at 3:13, the guy hands his club to another player, not his caddie! Ha! Well I guess when you take a deuce on a par 5 you can get away with that. "Here you go, my good man, please make sure that gets put away properly."
Double Eagle is the former words of Wii Sports original. In Asia and Wii Sports Resort (with Wii Motion Plus or inside) or Club (on Wii U), it's Albatross.
Closest I ever came to a hole in one was the first year I ever played and hardly knew what I was doing. Pure luck, inches from the hole, par 3...could have got my name on the wall and everything.
One more fucking time to all the lifelong fucking virgin idiots... You know why it is called a double eagle...because the guy who coined ALL the terms called it a double eagle.. That is the ORIGINAL term coined by the same guy who coined all the terms that YOU accept. The term albatross came AFTER. And I know you are trying to sound like some genius in math for once in your life...but this isn't a math issue. It is an English issue. Phrases do NOT have to have the same meaning as the combination of all the words that make up the phrase.
This is more impressive than a hole because it requires a great drive and then a perfect shot where a hole in one is just a perfect shot with out a good drive being needed
It is funny that almost every announcer couldn't figure out what to call it so they all called it both. Technically, it is a double eagle. Albatross is not official. However, those who are mathematically inclined will say that a double eagle should technically be 4 under par since and eagle is 2 under par. I prefer albatross because it does not offend my math sensibilities.
IT has nothing to do with math but English. There are lots of words or phrases that are combinations of multiple words, and many mean something very different from simply adding the definitions of those words
Fun fact: the rarest feat one can obtain in golf is a Condor (-4). According to the PGA, this has happened only 4 times, all of which occured as hole-in-ones on par 5s. Though it has never happened, it is also possible to obtain such a feat by hitting a 2 on a par 6, or, by some actual miracle from God himself, a 3 on a par 7 (look up the par 7 in South Korea. The hole is about 1100 yards long from the back tees, and about 1000 yards long from the front ones).
A man named Kevin Pon actually achieved a Condor (Dec 20, 2020) *2 on a 667yd Par 6* At Lake Chabot Golf Course in Oakland, CA. It's the only Par 6 West of the Mississippi.
1:25 was the 2011 Australian open which I went to, it was awesome because the presidents cup was played in Melbourne, so all the big players played in the Aussie open to get somr practice on Australian courses Tiger, Bubba, Couples, they all came and it was awesome!
Louis Oosthuizen, and the last shot in this video are the most spectacular, for me...Louie's because it hit on the front of that loooong green and had soooooo far to go, and the last one because he bounced and hit the flag stick!
It's true that luck plays a big factor. In this video we saw a tee shot in the rough, and a few second shots that were wildly off the mark and took a lucky bounce. But still, I'm sure you had a healthy mix of skill in your swings 😊
I once thought I had an albatross, but the ball rolled by the hole and off the back of the green. I promptly skulled my chip into the water and managed a solid double bogey. Talk about deflating.
Had the round of my life with 7 birdies and an Albatross!!! 177 7-iron. Couldn’t see it as the green was 30’ higher than my fairway. Congrats to all that have one.
Never had an albatross, but plenty of hole outs for eagle. My favorite one was on a par 5 that plays about 510yds uphill. Usually 2 good shots would get me there in 2 but I topped my drive and my 2nd shot putting me about where a decent drive would be. Then I holed out a 3 wood from 235yds for an eagle lol. That's the longest shot I've ever holed in my 40+ years of playing. The 2nd longest was on the very next hole (different round) on a 470yd par 4. I knocked in a 2 iron from 220yds for an eagle. I have witnessed an albatross once. A guy on the competing team holed one out for a deuce on a par 5 from around 200yds during a high school match I was playing in.
Well done Carl.. 👏👏👏 Holing out from anywhere beyond 150m is extremely difficult, and rare enough, but to Hole-out over 200m... I think u said 235m, 😲 , is Top Level stuff my friend. I've actually Never had the fortune/luck/ or more accurately SKILL, to experience my own true Hole-out while playing an official game, although not for lack of trying. 😏 Now I have come "close" a couple times , and by CLOSE , I mean...... probably not very close at all, lol , maybe... around a Foot or so?? And even then, that "Foot" would have to belong to Shaq... 😌 Regardless, your amazing Shot sounds like the type of shot you dream about making...👏👏 And let's be honest here, it's likely the type of shot that keeps the passion for the game burning hot? Thanks for sharing mate, Cheers.
Why do they insist on calling an albatross a "double eagle" when it's really an eagle and a half? A "double eagle" would be four under par which is a condor/vulture.
There's a alot of courses in NW Ohio that have driveable par 4 holes...270 -330 yds..I've never had a hole in one but I've had 2 eagles ..both at cherrywood golf course ....both in my early 20s ...I'm 40 now and my dad passed away when I was 29 and I haven't golfed much since ..to emotional still
Hole in one better. One stroke could mean difference in winner or second place. Look at the fed ex cup last year. Tiger almost won both, and the tour championship But lost by one shot to justin rose, who need to par the par 5 on the 18th hole. It cost tiger $10 million dollars. I'll take the hole in one 🕳 ⛳. Hole in one Is a 1 on your score card, a double eagle is 2. It's a no brainer
I think it’s curious that the 2 female albatrosses were both drivable par 4s that were shorter than most of the other shots. Even one of the commenters alluded to the fact that a 215ish yard par 4 would be played as a par 3 on most PGA courses.
3:15 First time I have ever seen a pro golfer hand his club to a competitor. Was he so elated from the DE that he didn't realize who he handed his club to? Or was the competitor reaching for his club so he gave it to him?

I'm American and learned golf through Mario Golf 64 - it's an Albatross to me.
Mario golf Toadstool Tour for me
Yep, it’s definitely an Albatross. Double eagle pfft
i tought it was two eagle back to back
I like albatross. It's a really good song by FLOATER too!
Mario Golf 64 is the reason I play golf today.
It will always be an Albatross to me. "Double Eagle" sounds like 4 under...
4 under would be a hole in one on a par 5
That’s called a Condor!
@Ballyliffin Bros An eagle is 2 under par, an albatross is 3 under par it isn't 4 under par so double eagle makes no sense at all, no one says double birdie for an eagle do they.
@@alistairjohnson177 I guess they're using the same case with bogeys and double bogeys but the math doesn't add up with eagles and double eagles lol
4 under par is an ostrich
Albatross, double eagle, whatever you wanna call it. It's a really big bird. LMFAO!!! Classic comments from that guy
I prefer albatross, since double-eagle makes me think it's 2x an eagle or 4 under (which would not really be possible, unless it's some wild fluke of a hole in one on par 5)

Good to hear the droll Irish wit of David Feherty before he became a household name. "An albatross, a double eagle, it's a really big bird!"
I'm more impressed with the cameraman being able to focus on the ball.
That's what they get paid to do. If that's your job, you follow that ball.

The title pic shows Oosthuizen, but then his double eagle at Augusta isn’t in the actual video
I just clicked to hear people say "Albatross"
Disappointed. Too many people say Double Eagle
More people are disappointed about the content you create.
Hello, I see you stopped here a while ago, keep going on with whatever you are doing...
What is double eagle
Several announcers say "Albatross" but maybe you only watched the first 15 seconds of the video
What is Verlis doing here?

7:17 when you see your waiter walking to your table with the food
Ha! 😂
Hello, dear golf friends.
I'm looking for videotaped, "CONDOR" golf holes scored.
Hope there is a par 6 course soon.
Oosthuizen's will always be favorite. First and only one I've seen on live TV, and he did it the right way - second shot on a par 5 in normal playing conditions.
I saw that live too! Too bad he wound up losing the tournament by 1 stroke.
At Augusta. On Sunday.
Cinderella story
Where is Oistheisen's albatross on hole #2 at 2010 masters?
Those reactions are pretty calm. I would be in a dead sprint all the way to the hole!
So many great triple birdies
Jason Gore's shot was at Torrey Pines
7:07 has to be the cleanest shit that ever happened in the galaxy yet.
he problem with watching them all in a row like this is you start to think they happen all the time.......as in, "I played a whole round today and didn't get a single albatross!!"
Albatross - calm
Double Eagle - panic
Tbh. This was the first time I've seen an albatross in golf history 0:06
Someone called Tommy Fleetwood kind of had to make an albatross at some point lol
For being such a rare feat it sure happens a lot in this video lol
The ball is a paid actor

WTF, Peter, that guy sounds like the high school teacher everyone hated.
Lol that was the most benevolent insult I’ve seen in awhile.
Call it a double eagle or call it an albatross, either way it's still a really big bird.
these shots are amazing! but the unsung hero(es) is(are) the guy behind the camera tracking that wee little ball from launch to landing.
This is more impressive than a hole because it requires a great drive and then a perfect shot where a hole in one is just a perfect shot with out a good drive being needed
To the everyday golfer (non professional) an Albatross is like hitting the lottery back to back.
And to a professional, hitting a Condor (-4) is like winning the lottery every day in a week. Such a feat has happened only 4 times per the PGA.
Jeff Maggert only golfer in history to have two double eagles in majors.
6:43 the smoothest shot ever
It is funny that almost every announcer couldn't figure out what to call it so they all called it both. Technically, it is a double eagle. Albatross is not official.

I say throw technicality and "official" to the wind. Something that special deserves its own name. Albatross.
It has it's own name.. it is an albatross
Jack Landon if you say double bogey...what does that imply then? Your mathematical logic makes no sense in this case.
Nicholas Osczypko you say double bogey because it’s 2+ and a bogey is 1+ double birdie for an eagle would make sense and so would triple birdie for 3-
Why not call it a "Deagle"?
Probably because it's official name isn't a double eagle. A deagle would sound much better though.
'cause it it isn't 'double' anything...
A deagle is a nick name for the desert eagle weapon. So probably not a good idea 😂😂
Cuz then Smeagol would kill it and take the ring?
Cuz that’s a gun

The game was invented in Scotland and if it’s an Albatross there ... it’s a bleeding Albatross everywhere!!! 👊

Louie O.s at the Masters, hole 2?
2:14 - If Daniel Berger had a daughter named Furina, they might call her Fur for short, then she would be Fur Berger.
If you're gonna call an Albatross a Double Eagle, can't be bothered to watch.
Louis Oosthuizen, and the last shot in this video are the most spectacular, for me...Louie's because it hit on the front of that loooong green and had soooooo far to go, and the last one because he bounced and hit the flag stick!
And it was the Masters.
Like hitting two grand slams in one game
Great video..many imperfect high fives
Since we are apparently in the game of calling things the wrong name, why don't we just call birdies a "half eagle"?
0:30 With darkness and silence through the night
Is there a "Condor" as well?
Double eagle. Like double bogey.
Only doubly good. Not doubly bad.

It should be called a triple-birdie. It would make more sense:
Triple-bogey>double-bogey> bogey> par> birdie> double-birdie> triple-birdie
Dude how do you only have 13k subs?
Because there are hundreds of channels like this showing the same clips over and over again?
Also, how can you make a video of all these albatrosses, and forget the ONLY ace on a par 4?
The very first one is the best. The kid wins the Tournament with the Albatros. So great.
Double Bogey +2
Bogey +1
Par E
Birdie -1

Double Eagle -3 🦅 🦅
-4 ? You do it, you name it.
People have done it. Four under is called a condor.
CHIP IN FOR ALBATROSS

When did double eagle become a thing? Is it just a yank thing? Wouldn’t a double eagle be 4 under par?
What do you call a +12 on a hole?
Where the f uck is the Louis oosthazen shot that u r advertising!!! That should be #1
Double eagle is not a Condor, 2 on Par5 ?
-4 is called CONDOR! and -3 is ALBASTROS. Double fuckin eagle is for ... and triple fuckin eagle too! I wanna see a CONDOR filmed pleaseeeee
Had the round of my life with 7 birdies and an Albatross!!! 177 7-iron. Couldn’t see it as the green was 30’ higher than my fairway.
Congrats to all that have one.
4 under would be an ostrich am I right? 😂😂
condor i think
Never had an albatross, but plenty of hole outs for eagle. My favorite one was on a par 5 that plays about 510yds uphill. Usually 2 good shots would get me there in 2 but I topped my drive and my 2nd shot putting me about where a decent drive would be. Then I holed out a 3 wood from 235yds for an eagle lol. That's the longest shot I've ever holed in my 40+ years of playing. The 2nd longest was on the very next hole (different round) on a 470yd par 4. I knocked in a 2 iron from 220yds for an eagle. I have witnessed an albatross once. A guy on the competing team holed one out for a deuce on a par 5 from around 200yds during a high school match I was playing in.
Well done Carl.. 👏👏👏
Holing out from anywhere beyond 150m is extremely difficult, and rare enough, but to Hole-out over 200m... I think u said 235m, 😲 , is Top Level stuff my friend.
I've actually Never had the fortune/luck/ or more accurately SKILL, to experience my own true Hole-out while playing an official game, although not for lack of trying. 😏 Now I have come "close" a couple times , and by CLOSE , I mean...... probably not very close at all, lol , maybe... around a Foot or so?? And even then, that "Foot" would have to belong to Shaq... 😌
Regardless, your amazing Shot sounds like the type of shot you dream about making...👏👏
And let's be honest here, it's likely the type of shot that keeps the passion for the game burning hot?
Thanks for sharing mate, Cheers.
Why do they insist on calling an albatross a "double eagle" when it's really an eagle and a half? A "double eagle" would be four under par which is a condor/vulture.
There's a alot of courses in NW Ohio that have driveable par 4 holes...270 -330 yds..I've never had a hole in one but I've had 2 eagles ..both at cherrywood golf course ....both in my early 20s ...I'm 40 now and my dad passed away when I was 29 and I haven't golfed much since ..to emotional still
How can these guys hit a 4-1/4” cup from hundreds of yards but can’t seem to hit a 4-1/4” palm for a high-five from hundreds of millimeters?
218 yard Par 4 for the LPGA?? They should be ashamed of themselves.
Double eagle, why do you have to change everything? Is it because albatross is too hard to spell?
I don't understand why the winning shot at the 1983 Hawaiian Open is not included in this video.
It doesn't seem to matter how big a star, how big the ego , how jaded, how big the reputation, it is always a thrill the drop an albatross.
That first guys are using the same AP3 irons im using but unfortunately I haven't had a moment like that yet.
Monty Python made an Albatross.
"That was way easier! I should just do that every time huh?"
Haha, good thinking.
And the Phoenix, which is par-4.

The unofficial name for getting a -4 is a Condor.
@@kenmograd2009 but has anybody hit IT?
I think I'd rather get an Albatross than a hole-in-one any day.
Kyle Kusniak Its possible to do both. (Hole in one on a par 4)
Jason Balcaitis i think its not called an albatross if you get a hole in one on a par 4. It has to be a par 5 second shot to be an albatross.
@@kalee6 A hole in one on a par 4 is still 3 under par so it qualifies as an albatross but I think most people would call it a hole in one regardless
Don't get your name up in the club house for an albatross.
Hole in one better. One stroke could mean difference in winner or second place. Look at the fed ex cup last year. Tiger almost won both, and the tour championship But lost by one shot to justin rose, who need to par the par 5 on the 18th hole. It cost tiger $10 million dollars. I'll take the hole in one 🕳 ⛳. Hole in one Is a 1 on your score card, a double eagle is 2. It's a no brainer
LMAO the LPGA turning a 218 yard hole into a par 4 is an absolute joke
I think it’s curious that the 2 female albatrosses were both drivable par 4s that were shorter than most of the other shots. Even one of the commenters alluded to the fact that a 215ish yard par 4 would be played as a par 3 on most PGA courses.
Minjee Lee's Par 4 Ace was from 275 yards. That's an average par 4 distance for a PGA Tour player.
I would like to see these pros do this on a public course that isnt a maintained as these country club!!!!!
7:45 Carlos Franco has a magnificent swing
Well, if that's a double eagle then I've made a double birdie on three occasions.
@Ballyliffin Bros 2 under par, aka an Eagle.
An albatross is better than a par 3 hole-in-one because most par 5 are not reachable by most golfers.
Matt scharff laughing at this video
3:15 First time I have ever seen a pro golfer hand his club to a competitor. Was he so elated from the DE that he didn't realize who he handed his club to? Or was the competitor reaching for his club so he gave it to him?
One thing I learned from this video. Golfers are terrible at high 5's.
Who is the second player after Jack Nicklaus? I like his swing!
Looks like a Mista McAuley shot to me!!!
Eagle? I thought we're supposed to call them double birdies
The golf ball went flying
