It will always be an Albatross to me. "Double Eagle" sounds like 4 under...

I'm American and learned golf through Mario Golf 64 - it's an Albatross to me.

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.

Albatross, double eagle, whatever you wanna call it. It's a really big bird. LMFAO!!! Classic comments from that guy

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.

I'm more impressed with the cameraman being able to focus on the 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

I think I'd rather get an Albatross than a hole-in-one any day.

"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!

So many great triple birdies

7:17 when you see your waiter walking to your table with the food

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!"

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

Those reactions are pretty calm. I would be in a dead sprint all the way to the hole!

Someone called Tommy Fleetwood kind of had to make an albatross at some point lol

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.

Great video..many imperfect high fives

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.

Hope there is a par 6 course soon.

For being such a rare feat it sure happens a lot in this video lol

6:43 the smoothest shot ever

CHIP IN FOR ALBATROSS It ain’t a double eagle chief

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!

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.

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.

7:07 has to be the cleanest shit that ever happened in the galaxy yet.

I'm a lucky man, I've have had two.

Dude how do you only have 13k subs?

Albatross - calm Double Eagle - panic

Hello, dear golf friends. I'm looking for videotaped, "CONDOR" golf holes scored.

If an eagle is -2 then a double eagle must be -4? It’s called an albatross, not a double eagle...

... 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!

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.

Never heard the term "albatross" until I had one in golf clash on my phone..... awesomeness

It should be called a triple-birdie. It would make more sense: Triple-bogey>double-bogey> bogey> par> birdie> double-birdie> triple-birdie

That first guys are using the same AP3 irons im using but unfortunately I haven't had a moment like that yet.

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.

Who is the second player after Jack Nicklaus? I like his swing!

Yet, I’m excited about a par.

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

"Greatest awkward hi-fives"

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

Bro can you make a video on the best stiff arms in NFL history

0:30 With darkness and silence through the night

Jason Gore's shot was at Torrey Pines

Why not call it a "Deagle"?

You should do a bowling video

The very first one is the best. The kid wins the Tournament with the Albatros. So great.

7:45 Carlos Franco has a magnificent swing

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!

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.

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

To the everyday golfer (non professional) an Albatross is like hitting the lottery back to back.

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.

0:22 "It looks like a mirac - It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"

One thing I learned from this video. Golfers are terrible at high 5's.

triple birdie!!!

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.

4 under would be an ostrich am I right? 😂😂

Where is Oistheisen's albatross on hole #2 at 2010 masters?

Just had one, still don’t really believe it

Americans call it a double Eagle but us Scottish people who invented the game call it by it proper term Albatross

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.

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.

Tbh. This was the first time I've seen an albatross in golf history 0:06

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."

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.

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).

Is there a "Condor" as well?

Thought that the birds would intervene😂

Announcer: OH A DOUBLE EAGLE me an intellectual: ah yes an albatross

Down wind, common theme

I don't understand why the winning shot at the 1983 Hawaiian Open is not included in this video.

The golf ball went flying

how many points subtracted for double eagle

What do you call a +12 on a hole?

Also, how can you make a video of all these albatrosses, and forget the ONLY ace on a par 4?

J Hahn with the epic chest bump at 4:16

Can someone please teach golfers how to high five without looking awkward and uncoordinated?

Check out Philo Braithwaite at the Beaver State Fling.

Unreal. Best l ever did was get 4 inches from the cup on a par 3.

Awesome you think they would celebrate more

Like hitting two grand slams in one game

Looks like a Mista McAuley shot to me!!!

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.

"That was way easier! I should just do that every time huh?"

8:24 ok....you're fired! You froze.

I remember my first albatross, I was mini golfing

I'll do you one better. A hole in one on a par 5!!! Yes I was playing San Jose Muni golf course in San Jose, Ca. The 9th hole is a par 5. We were playing from the white tees at 485yds. With a blistering wind behind us I must have hit my tee shot 300+ yards in the air. I still think it hit a sprinkler head because it went another 100 yards then hit the cart path and kept going towards the green. The foursome playing in front of us saw the ball bounce past them and yelled at the guys on the green to watch out! Now I'm in our golf cart racing down the fairway past the foursome to see my ball just in time roll on the green, hit the flagstick and drop into the hole!! Everyone who saw the ball go into the hole started yelling and hollering as they couldn't believe what they just saw! EITHER COULD I !!!

2:43 Hoffman - IRON from 251 yds. dude in black puma is like what did you hit?

Well, if that's a double eagle then I've made a double birdie on three occasions.

Did any of these guys win their tournament?

4:49 gotta see an aussie playing in the LPGA tour

Makes putting a lot easier when you don't have to do it

Oosthuizen is greatest shot in my lifetime!

Welp, that’s a shot I’m never gonna make even if I try.

Once i did 3 of these in a row, and an hole in one in a par 6. Then i woke up.
