Cool double eagle or hole in one?

Just a poll...What do you think is better a double eagle or hole in one?
I'm just wondering since I have a double eagle, but never a hole in one...
Just a thought from all you golfers

Re: double eagle or hole in one?

Honestly, I think that an albatross is more rare than a HIO. We're talking about either:

a) driving a par 4 and holing out.

or

b) holing out with your second shot on a par 5.

Much more rare, IMO, than a HIO. (I'd be happy to have either).

I guess the other argument is that you get smiles and bragging rights (and maybe a beer) for an albatross, you shell out for a HIO!

Re: double eagle or hole in one?

Never looked at it like I could have a beer bought for me rather than shell out for a hole in one......Problem was I was only 17 when I recorded one...too young to drink......(legally!!!!!)

Re: double eagle or hole in one?

A hole-in-one on a par 3 is more exelerating. Par 3's are designed to challange your iron play.

A 2 on a 5 is all about the Driver and 3w/long iron...and that leaves too much for interpetation to those that want to hear about it...so, you had a double eagle...was it a short par 5?, dog-leg?, did you catch the cart path 3 times?, etc... You also are usually alone in the act...noone usually right near by.

The par 4 driveable hole-in-one is unfortunatly not as exciting (but a close 2nd) only because it is usually so far away that you really do not witness it.

The best part about the par 3 hole-in-one is that most are seen, all by the payers in your group AND by the group just leaving the green.
