The hole plays downhill after about ~250 yards, and runs into a green that slopes back to front. After I hit the tee shot, I made the joke that it had a chance to get there. One of my playing partners also had a decent shot that ended up just short off the green, so the entire time we approached the green, I just assumed his ball was mine. The adrenaline hit me like a semi once we realized my ball was in the cup

ALBATROSS!!!!!
Did the course give you anything special to commemorate the moment?
Great stuff! Congrats
Bloody hell, well done. A HIO and an albatross (presumably your first) in one fell swoop.
A friend of mine did this…sort of. 248 yard par 4 with a ditch that swallows up teeshots that come up short at 210.
He was in the group in front of me one Sunday comp at my old local club. He hooked his ball left into the trees, so he re-teed and did the same thing. We were playing Stableford and so assumed he would have to card a blank for the hole, so he picked up his tee and carried on. No need to play the hole if he was already playing 5 off the tee and would’ve had to hole out for a single point.
He walked up to the green with his playing partner and went to tend the flag for him and there was his ball, sitting in the cup. His second ball. He got a hole-in-three birdie with his second ball, which he had hooked left into the woods. It must’ve had a lucky bounce back into play and somehow made its way into the cup.
The ole 11th at Theo Wirthe, followed by the true par 3 60-90yard 12th lol
Love this hole, just gotta clear the hill and get some good roll and you have a nice chance to score well
Nice work! Love that hole with the rollout – that is assuming I don’t duff it 100 yards.
4 putts the following par 3.
Big congrats sir 🎉
250 yrd par 4…..and its down hill?
thats a par 3 my guy
awesome HIO tho! congrats
Who is Theodore wirth and why does he have a golf course
Way to go and shoutout to MSP!
This place is like 3 miles from me! I gotta get in on this.
FYI a hole in one on a par 5 is called a Condor.
You hit into the group in front of you and they placed the ball in the cup.
🤣
Congrats but

Or maybe you drove on the group in front of you and they didn’t like it, so they put your ball in the cup.
Congrats!
Hell yeah brother!!!
Used to play out at Theodore wirth all the time. Have had a few on the green here, always gave you the hope of the ace but you actually did it! Congrats man, awesome stuff. Way to sneak that in before winter to give you something to think about for a while!
