An albatross is scored in golf when the player completes a hole in a score 3 strokes under par.
Three under par on one hole of golf is an albatross or a double eagle.
It is called an eagle; if you happened to get a 2 on a par 5 that's called an albatross!
A bald eagle has a white top on its head The albatross, a sea bird, has a wide wingspan and a hook-ended bill.
A double eagle (or albatross) is 3 strokes below par. For example, if you get 3 strokes on a par 5, you would have a double eagle.
I would probably say a Vulture of some kind of Eagle

3 under par on a given hole. Also known as an albatross.
-4 = condor -3 = albatross -2 = eagle -1 = birdie
An example would be a crane. Next birds: heron, swan, albatross, sea eagle, cormorant....
The albatross has the biggest wingspan on (or above) the planet. The Royal albatross is 3.5 metres from wing tip to wing tip, and weighs 8 kilograms. The Antipodean or Wandering albatross is 3.2 metres from wing tip to wing tip.
Each hole is assigned a par, which is the amount of shots that it should take to complete the hole.You can have a 3 different pars, 3,4 and 5 on the very rare occasion there may be a par 6. This in not likely on championship courses.An Albatross ocucurs when a golfer takes 3 shots less than the par.So in effect a par 3 cannot have an albatross scored on it as that would be a score of zero which isn't possible.On a par 4 the player would only take one shot for the ball to end up in the hole.On a par 5 the player takes only two shots to complete the hole.Needless to say an Albatross is a rare score!
