One of the rarest shots in golf occurred on Monday night during the Twin Village Men’s Golf League in Roscoe. Everett Tallman, third from left, was playing with his son Collin when he made a double eagle on the par-4 seventh hole. A double eagle – otherwise known as an Albatross – is when a player scores three under par on a single hole.

Everett hit his driver nearly 250 yards and the ball hit next to the green and rolled in. The players couldn’t see the surface of the green from the tee so they had no idea what just happened. The Tallmans were playing against George Kinne and Fred Stabbert.

As everyone approached the green the Tallmans were looking for Everett’s ball, which they assumed had rolled up near the fringe. After looking for several minutes Collin and Fred approached the hole and Collin said, “What are you playing?” to his dad.  “A Precept,” Everett replied. “I found your ball dad, it’s in the hole,” Collin shouted as his father let out a scream of excitement.

Everett tried to repeat the feat on the next hole, but left his iron shot six feet short of the hole – and another hole in one – on the par-3, 176 yard eighth hole. It was still an amazing night for the Tallmans and their playing opponents.

Standing next to the famous hole on the seventh green are, from the left, Fred Stabbert, Collin Tallman, Everett Tallman, and George Kinne.

By the way, the odds of an amateur golfer making an Albatross are six million to 1. Congratulations, Everett.
