Jarret Moyse Albatross on Saturday<\/h1>\n

Jarret scored the rare feat on Saturday’s stroke round by holing out with a six iron on the 12th!<\/p>\n

You have a better chance to be struck by lightning than you do of making an albatross!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below is an interesting article about hole-in-ones and Albatross\u2019s:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When it comes to a hole-in-one, an albatross or, even a condor — more on that coming , if you don’t know what it is — us golfers know they’re all extra special.<\/em><\/p>\n

But just how special are they? Like, what are the odds?<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the three most coveted scores in golf and try to explain…<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A hole-in-one or ace<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    According to the\u00a0National Hole-in-One Registry<\/a>, the odds of the average golfer making a hole-in-one are\u00a012,000 to 1<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The National Hole-in-One Registry also has a boatload of other great facts regarding an ace…<\/em><\/p>\n

    – The odds of a Tour player making an ace: 3,000 to 1<\/em>
    \n– The odds of a low-handicapper making an ace: 5,000 to 1<\/em>
    \n– The odds of two players from the same foursome acing the same hole: 17 million to 1<\/em>
    \n– The odds of one player making two holes-in-one in the same round: 67 million to 1<\/em><\/p>\n

    The National Hole-in-One Registry also says that there are roughly 450 million rounds of golf played each year in the U.S., or approximately 25,000-30,000 per course. Each of those courses reports between 10-15 aces per year. That means a hole-in-one is scored once in every 3,500 rounds. Only 1-2 percent of golfers score an ace in a year. The average years of playing golf for a player before making an ace is 24. Can you believe that?<\/em><\/p>\n

    Further, the average handicap of a golfer making a hole-in-one is 14. That should prove encouraging for a lot of folks. You clearly don’t have to be the best player on the course… you just have to be the luckiest, once.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The age group that makes the most holes in one? That would be golfers between 50-59, which account for 25 percent of aces each year. The next highest percentage age group consists of players between 40-49, who account for 24 percent of annual aces.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Sixteen percent of holes in one are made by women, according to the National Hole-in-One Registry. The average age of a female golfer making an ace is 55, with an average of 15 years playing the game. And the average length of hole for a woman making an ace is 111 yards.<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. An albatross or double eagle\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      An albatross is achieved when a player either aces a par 4, or scores a “2” on a par 5.<\/em><\/p>\n

      The Double Eagle Club<\/a>, which touts itself as, “the worldwide registry for double eagles scored,” features a story from former longtime Golf World writer Bill Fields, that states the odds of an albatross are an estimated\u00a06 million to 1<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

      RELATED:\u00a0Nine times an albatross was caught on video<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

      But, Fields writes:<\/em><\/p>\n

      Dean Knuth, who was senior director of the handicap department at the USGA from 1981 to 1997 and now a Golf Digest contributing editor, says they’re lower than that but still great, about a million-to-one shot.<\/em><\/p>\n

      That makes your chances of becoming one of the couple of hundred golfers a year to make a double eagle (as opposed to 40,000 aces) better than being killed by a shark (1 in 350 million) or dying from a dog bite (one in 18 million) but worse than being struck by lightning (one in 555,000) or, for a woman, having quadruplets without the aid of fertility drugs (one in 729,000).<\/em><\/p>\n

      “They’re definitely far more rare than aces,” Knuth says. “Someone has to hit two great shots. You have to have length and ability. Only a small percentage of golfers, less than 10 percent, ever reach a par 5 in two. That means 90 percent of golfers don’t have a chance of making one.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
