Anyone ever had an albatross? If so give me your story

Never had one. Hit to three feet once but that is it.

Missed one by about 3 inches. Stopped about 3 foot past for an easy eagle.

I missed holing out on one by about 18 inches. It wasn't a long par 5, but the drive was up and over a hill. If you hit it straight and got it over the hill it would run like a mofo. The second shot was about 200 (tiger ryno gap wedge) downhill. Just missed flying it in. That was at Ft. Jackson golf course in Columbia SC

I did have an ace at that goat ranch right across the river in West Monroe. It was like a 110 yard par 3. One hopped it in the hole.

I'd have to imagine that rarely an albatross is seen by the player bc of the distance

On some holes it's quite possible. I saw my buddy sink a 200 yarder on a long par 4. It was a bit downhill and the you could see it go in plain as day. Could have seen it from 100 more yards out with the same angle.

After picking up a golf club that day for the very first time in his life, the Dear Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea fired a 38-under-par round of 34 at Pyongyang. According to the 17 security guards who observed the performance, the score included an amazing 11 aces. Naturally, the event was dutifully reported to the North Korean masses by the state news agency.

Beaverfever. If I reading that correctly it sounds like he made an eagle.

I came within a foot from one on #9 at LSU a couple of years ago.
Hit a driver, then 8 iron that buzzed the cup but didn't drop.

I've had one. Tanglewood Country Club in Milton, FL. #9 is a 500 yard par 5. Driver and a 6 iron.

I shot one once, but then all sorts of bad things started happening and my crew hung it around my neck.
