SSC GD Constable (English) - 10th December 2021 Shift 1 • General Awareness • Q38

The term ‘Albatross’ is used in which of the following sport?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Golf

  • An albatross represents a golf scoring term for three strokes shots under par on a single hole.
  • To score an albatross, one has to play on par-5 holes and to sink the second shot to achieve an albatross.
  • This term means three under par, but the "double eagle" synonym is simply a continuation of the aviary theme of good scores. The albatross is rare, as is a three under par.
