2 hole-in-ones in the same round, 1 of them an albatross. What are the chances?

  I keep going for the green on that hole and almost always make a mess out of it.,

  
  
  The other day, I aimed a bit too far to the left and hit the tree. The ball came straight back at me. I think it ended up being a "drive" of (literally) about 3 yards.

  I have 2 h.i.o.'s on the same day and same course ! Back on the 16th of March 2015 when I played Bandon Dunes a lot.  They are saved in my saved shots if anyone's interested !

  I'm thinking there aren't very many people that have this accomplishment. I am stunned. 

  Just had the same WGT luck - only not an albatross for one of them - that's incredibly impressive, SpencerS25!

  

  I'm equally stunned!

   If you've already holed out one tee shot in a round, you have about a 1 in 156 million chance of carding a second hole in the same round. Long odds, to be sure, but you're still about twice as likely to pull off that feat as you are to win the lotto.

  What are the odds of getting an albatross?

  The most-quoted odds of making a hole-in-one are 13,000 to 1. The odds of making a double eagle have been posted at 6-million-to-1, although some think it might be closer to 1 million to 1.
