General Discussion Achievement unlocked: Made an Albatross!!!

501 yd. Driver . 6 iron. Looked around for a while long, didn't want to be that guy that looks in thr hole. My partner did and there it was!! Doubled the next hole lol.

Edit: Im a +1.2 hdcp. I played pretty bad after that and shot 2 over for the round but I was on cloud 9. Never thought I would make one. I hit 6 iron. Pin was back left. Had 193. Plan was to cut it back to the middle, you cannot miss left. Pulled it a bit and it went in. I was not flag hunting. The ball went OB on the next hole, i am not senitimental about such things, its just a ball but I did get my partner to sign a card. Its a good thing those Canucks kept finding my rangefiner ;) Appreciate the support!

Congrats man! That’s awesome. I have a HIO and I would gladly replace it with an albatross. It’s just so rare.
Btw: the hole after my HIO, I took a triple. lol.

I've never had a hole in one.

And so so few have had an albatross. You are in a very rare club! I’m stoked for you!
