Hi, does anyone know if a par five has ever been holed in 1? Someone told me the other day this is called a 'Condor'. Surely it cannot be done, the top players drive about 350yds so nowhere near long enough to reach a par 5 green in 1. But if they've given this feat a name maybe it has happened... any thoughts would be great. Thanks:)

Yep, someone's done it!

Par (score) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Par_%28score%29#Condor)

That's some effort like! I can't even hit the ball straight, let alone sink it in one over 300yds! Ha ha!

No, it's impossible. Par 5s are made to be way too far for a drive to reach the green. A short par 5 would be around 450 yards. Not even happy gilmore can reach that.

What? Did you not read my post, or my link proving that people have done it? :confused:

Hey. Its can be done on a par 6. In two shots.
That's the much easier way, and how it is usually done.
