Which would you rather? Albatross or hole in one?

Obviously one is tougher than the other. Which would you chose to have one of in your lifetime?

Another interesting find on wikipedia
quote:
As of October 2008, a condor (four under par) hole-in-one on a par 5 hole had been recorded on four occasions, aided by thin air at high altitude, or by cutting the corner on a doglegged or horseshoe-shaped hole.

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.

Mark me down for hole in one. If you are a semi-serious golfer, your resume is basically incomplete without one.
I've been playing for 20 years without one. If I die hole-in-oneless, I'll consider my life an abject failure.

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

Albatross is harder to achieve, but hole-in-one has the name recognition.
Basically anytime you hole out from the fairway, what you've done is as difficult as a hole in one.But there's just something about marking that 1 on the scorecard.

how close have you come to one?
Posted on 6/14/17 at 2:58 pm to PapaPogey
As a very casual golfer (couple rounds a year), but fan of the sport and someone who understands the implications of both, I'd rather have a hole in one. No real reasoning.
Posted on 6/14/17 at 2:58 pm to PapaPogey
Hole in one.

-3. Holing out on the second shot of a Par 5 for example.
I'd like to submit an answer of a hole in one on a par 4. Knock them both out on on shot

2 on a par 5
I've got my ace, but I haven't played in several years.

I've never been close for a hole in one. I have put the second shot about four inches from the hole on a shorter par 5. Probably the closest I'll ever get.
Posted on 6/14/17 at 3:02 pm to PapaPogey
I've had a couple within a foot or two. My closest, though, was back in 5th grade when I hit a worm burner that lipped out

Albatross, 550 yards in two strokes is dope

I made an albatross at Pelican Point years ago, but I have never made a hole in one.
Nobody cares about the albatross.
People only want to know if you've made a hole in one.
