Those familiar with golf know the sport has its own unique vocabulary. You’ve got eagle, birdie, par, bogey (or the dreaded double, triple, quadruple, etc.), OB, ace, slice, duck hook, draw, fade, and so on and so forth. But perhaps the most rare term used in golf is albatross. And there’s certainly a reason for that.

For those unaware, an albatross is when a golfer scores three strokes under par on a given hole. Obviously, making an albatross, which is also known as a double eagle, on a par-3 is impossible, so one can only occur on a par-4 (holing out in one shot) or a par-5 (holing out in two shots).
