Weekly Reader Poll Results: Hole-in-one or Albatross?

Asked whether they would rather have a hole-in-one or an albatross, voters could barely split the two options.

A hole-in-one proved fractionally more popular, taking 43 per cent of the vote, while 42 per cent chose an albatross as their preferred achievement.

Only 15 per cent of respondents declared they would prefer to win their local club championship.

One insightful take from this week's Weekly Reader Poll Forum came from Bumpy.M:

“Albatross. Two lucky shots in a row is better than one lucky shot in a row (unless it's holing a drive on a par 4, that is a good albatross, but a better hole in one). With a hole in one, you are guaranteed a perfect lie and would generally be hitting an iron. An albatross will have required a good drive followed generally by a long iron or fairway wood.”
