Golf Trivia

Most people know that a birdie is one under par.

Most people know that an eagle is two under par.

Any idea what three or four under par is called....


Albatross
Three-under-par (-3); often called a double eagle. These are extremely rare, and occur most commonly on par-fives with a strong drive and a holed approach shot. Between 1970 and 2003, 84 such shots (an average of fewer than three per year) were recorded on the PGA Tour.


Condor
Four-under par (-4); a hole-in-one on a par 5. It has only been recorded 4 times in history and never during a professional tournament.
