Bobby Jones[edit]

Per this article, Bobby Jones scored his first double eagle in a regular foursome round in 1937, well past his competitive days. Not sure that would qualify for this list. Carl Lindberg (talk) 23:21, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dead links[edit]

Some of the links are 'dead'(refreshed by up-to-date news). Jeff Overton made at least 5 albatrosses, 1 in 2006, 3 in 2007 and 1 in 2008. Quatation needed is a bit silly. Pvt pauline (talk) 09:16, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In my view it would be best to remove this last section completely. There are simply too many, mostly undocumented. Sticking to well-defined categories makes sense. Actually, now that I think about it, the whole article could be deleted and the useful parts added elsewhere: eg add the first section somewhere in Men's major golf championships. Or perhaps a rename would be in order: List of albatrosses in important golf tournaments. Nigej (talk) 11:46, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of Albatrosses[edit]

hi all,

take a look here: http://www.doubleeagleclub.org/index.php?suffix=club_stats

Literally hundreds of Albatrosses all around the world since the late 19th century.

Move and trim[edit]

This page is a perennial problem since there are countless instances every year. I'm thinking of renaming this page and then removing the "others" section completely so that we just have focussed lists. I'm thinking of "List of golfers who have hit an albatross in important tournaments" This is a bit vague and I'd appreciate other ideas. Note that the page has been AFDed in the past (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of professional golfers who have hit an albatross) on the basis that "Professional golfers are notable for being at the highest level of their sport, not for hitting an animal while playing" so perhaps the word "hit" is not the best.

- Scored would be a better word IMHO. My other opinion is that the only persons on the list should be golfers with a Wikipedia article. That establishes their notability. That AFD is hilarious but it comes from the same editor who thought people could be categorized from a place only because the person is buried there....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:44, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- - My point really, since I suspect that half the professionals in the world "have hit an albatross" at some time in their life. Nigej (talk) 19:48, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
