I just got an albatross while playing a pga season event. Wow. Incidentally, I got two holes in one on tgctour events last week.
Anyone else get an albatross?

I had one a couple of weeks ago.
Albys are harder to get than Aces. Unfortunately, the Albatross stat does not show up/register on the TGCT Expanded Stats page so there's no way to compare with others or see who else has had them on tour.

I have more real life Albatross' (1) than I have in this game (0). I'm sure the real life won't happen again, but hopefully have a TGC one coming at some point.

I had my first albatross while playing the Open Championship in 2015 here. Was the only person to do it for a long time in a major until I think Sloaner did it in the PGA Championship. It was also the first tournament I ever won too. Since then I have had 3 others in tournament including one a #18 last year at Pebble Beach. Btw good job!

Yeah I have one hole in one I real life but certainly not an albatross. Someone calculated the odds of an albatross at 1 in 6 million, but a hole in one is only 1 in 12000, and that's for a high capper.

My stats say I have had an albatross, but I don’t remember getting one! 😀
In other news I got the Ace (Hole in One) Achievement only this week... over 500 rounds played.

Never got an albatross but I've seen one! When Karen Stupples won the Women's British Open at Sunningdale I was standing behind the par 5 second hole during the final round. I saw it all the way from strike to hole out. There was no one else standing next to me, so I was the only one with this great view. It put her into the lead and she never looked back. followed her for the rest of the round, Great Day!

Also called a double eagle. Only by Philistines with a very poor grasp of maths!

Speaking of Albatrosses, just got one yesterday in the form of a hole in one on a par four and it came after eagling the previous hole. Going -5 in two holes is fun. First round action!!
