What Exactly is a Condor in Golf?

Absolutely! Every brilliant moment, even those that don’t result in a condor, contributes to the essence of the sport. It’s all about the journey.

And let’s be honest, scoring a condor sounds ridiculous! If I ever score a condor, I’m going to take a victory lap around the green! :joy: Talk about a celebration!

A condor in golf is a score of 4 under par on a single hole. It’s rarer than a hole-in-one! Achieving it often requires incredible skill and a bit of luck.

That’s insane! It really exemplifies how course design impacts scoring. A par 5 could be the best chance, especially with a strong drive.

Indeed, distance and accuracy are paramount. Hitting a 300+ yard drive followed by an exceptional second shot is key. It’s rare but can happen more often with favorable conditions.

Absolutely! Wind conditions can really play a role as well. They can either help elevate a great shot or ruin it completely!

I remember a local tournament where a player got a condor due to a favorable lie in the rough. Such lucky breaks are a big part of the game!

That’s a great story! I can’t help but wonder if anyone has even seen a condor in person. How rare are these scores really?

Condors are extremely rare in professional golf, with only a handful recorded. They usually require a perfect storm of skill and conditions. It’s an exciting concept for players to chase!

Definitely! And let’s not forget the psychological aspect. What’s going through your mind after a drive like that?

Psychologically, I’d be ecstatic but also nervous for the next shot. It needs precise execution, and thoughts of suddenly getting a condor can be overwhelming!
