Is it back to back eagles, or 1 shot on a par 5?

 

Thanks :smileywink:

Double eagle is a bit of a misnomer - it's actually the American name for an Albatross, which is 2 shots on a par 5.
 

OK, who broke my sig?

think of it as if you have a golfer with really long drives and you sink it in on the second drive to the pin. possible as some of the par 5's i have seen in the game are short enough if you have the right club and wind in your favor.

Birdie= 1 under par on a hole

 

Eagle= 2 under par on a hole

 

 Double Eagle/ Albatross= 3 under par on a hole

 

Holing out a par 5 on your second shot or getting a hole in one on a par 4 (near impossible, i know) would be a double eagle.

Funny that you asked that, because i actually got one today.  Somehow I put it in the hole from 248 yards away.:smileysurprised: I wasn't totally sure what it was until then.

 Nice shot driver03076!

 

Thank for the info Guys! It's just called an albatross over here in the UK. :smileyhappy:

 

If an eagle is worth -2, shouldn't a double eagle be worth -4 not -3 :smileywink:   -3 should be a birdiegle!!!

Also, a hole in one on a par 4 is possible. Haven't done it yet though.

Best chance of that is on hole 6 of Highland C.C. Regular Tee, using an Expert character - I've managed to get within 2m of the flag. That said, one of the Silver Peak holes has three pillars that you can risk aiming for, bouncing off them, and hoping it rolls in the hole (which I've done twice in Practice Mode, using random wind direction and strength).

Still no double eagle for me yet...  I've had one in HSG OT, but not on the OOB...

 

I've had a HIO and got the witch outfit (w/ broom), but no double eagle prize...  I really want that motorcycle...

No double-eagle for me yet either. Had a hole-in-one as well as the other special shots (rising, homing, spiral, and flag), but no double eagle. It's funny, when I've holed a long chip-in eagle on a par 4 I get excited, but then I remember I need to do that on a par 5 for a double eagle. Amazing when a 200+ yd chip-in can be disappointing. :smileytongue:
