      Albatross makes no sense. Albatross historically has had a NEGATIVE connotation. Something you don't want to have around your neck. So why would you want it on your scorecard? It is literally the DUMBEST bird to choose for that reason.

    I agree, Sir Nick. It's been called an Albatross by most of the non-American golfing world since the early 1900s (or before). Americans didn't coin the term "Double Eagle" until 1935. They had probably never heard of an Albatross, and possibly thought Gene Sarazen was the first golfer to ever score a 3 under par hole. But, "Double Eagle"? Really? An Eagle Eagle? But that would be 4 under and there's a name for that already. 4 under is called a Condor (of which there have been just 6 recorded). "Eagle Birdie" would be more correct, but sounds almost as dumb as Double Eagle.

(I know you are worhtless..but you think people were hitting 3 under par on a hole in the 1800s with ancient equipment?

    Albatross is a ridiculous term for a 2 on a Par 5. Yes, they are larger bird physically than eagles but the connotation of the word is considered far more negative than positive. A 2 on a par 5 is hardly an "albatross around your neck." Just the opposite.

AND THIRD even ignoring both of those, let the guy have his moment. we don't fault them for that on holes in one. what makes these so special they can't enjoy the moment? if anything, the reactions to hole in ones shoudl be less.
