My initial thought was albatross all the way, but a thought went through my mind that gave me a little pause. If you hit an albatross, a lot of people's first question will be the yardage on the hole. They will start trying to poke holes in your accomplishment. A hole-in-one is typically accepted as a cool accomplishment no matter the distance.

Having said that, albatross would be my choice.

That's their problem. I'd much rather have an albatross and I DGAF what everybody else thinks about it.

I have an albatross with an asterisk so to speak. I played in a scramble and we took both of my shots with the 2nd one obviously finishing in the hole. Here's how this relates to your post. For $20 you were allowed to play from the Ladies' Tee. It was 425 yards give or take. Most people I talk to say the yardage doesn't matter, but to me it feels diminished because of the yardage.
