Albatross
This Topic records the details of golfers who have scored an albatross during a recognised golf competition at MGGC.
Some anecdotes relating to these achievements:
Colin Harburn 1973
The 17th hole was a par 5 at the time, Colin played a driver / three iron.
Hayden Bancroft 2013
The 15th hole had only just been modified to a short par 4 when Hayden holed out. He reputedly almost repeated the feat soon after when he "rattled the pin".
Andy McDonald 2022
Andy's albatross occurred on the 18th hole where he played a driver / four iron. The event that day was played off the yellow tees which meant that the 18th hole measured 447m compared to the normal blue tee length of 484m.
