In our forums, GolfWRX members are reacting to a remarkable club-level accomplishment: a hole-in-one and an albatross in the same round.
Member @goaliedad30 said a young plus-2 player at his club made an ace on the par-3 fourth hole from 175 yards, then later holed out for albatross from 210 yards on the 11th hole, a roughly 500-yard uphill par 5 with an elevated green.
The OP said he had never heard of someone making both an ace and an albatross in the same round, and the thread quickly turned into the kind of amazed reaction you would expect.
- @dropkicked added a little forum humor by asking whether it was the OP’s son and whether the player was alone.
- @alittleoverpar said he hoped the player bought a lottery ticket.
- @57charlie was among the members reacting to the achievement and adding to the congratulations feel of the thread.
- @goaliedad30’s original post is the heart of the piece because the achievement itself needs very little dressing up.
A single ace is rare enough. Pairing one with an albatross in the same round is the kind of club story golfers will tell for years.
Entire thread: Quite an amazing feat at our club recently!
