Mark I am glad that at least you called it an albatross. In the article it's referred to as a DOUBLE EAGLE. An expression common for American golf commentators. An expression which is ridiculous and I wish they would stop using it. An Eagle is two under par - a double eagle would be four under par - like getting a hole in one on a par five.
Three under par is an Albatross as you so correctly said NOT a double eagle.

Sometimes older is better, but not always.

The only things good about old are retirement, grandkids, and not having to live from paycheck to paycheck.

I thought this was going in a different direction, like when Randy Johnson disintegrated a bird in a game.
