    Score Term Strokes
    -5 ? five strokes under par
    -4 Condor/Vulture four strokes under par
    -3 Albatross three strokes under par
    -2 Eagle two strokes under par
    -1 Birdie one stroke under par
    0 Par strokes equal to par
    +1 Bogey one stroke more than par
    +2 Double bogey two strokes over par
    +3 Triple bogey three strokes over par

    Using terms such as "double albatross" and "triple eagle" is stupid. I also think condor is more appropriate than vulture for -4 par.

    Par 6 holes do exist but there are only a couple in the whole world and as yet there is no term for a hole-in-one (ace) on a par 6, as this is deemed impossible. I propose a -5 par score to be called a "phoenix".

    It would be called a hole-in-one or a triple eagle. I doubt if it will ever happen but there has been triple eagles on short par 6's(some 650 yards).

    A hole that wasn't really a par 5.

    No human should be able to drive a ball far enough to get to a Par 5 hole, even allowing for luck.

    Just to let you know, if you did not already know, a hole in one on a par five will never happen. But, if someone gets a hole in one, it is called a hole in one, whether you get it on a par 3,4 or 5.

    Well, two under par is an eagle, and three under par is a double eagle. So four under par would be a triple eagle, but I don't think it's ever been done.

    Ball substitution, i.e. cheating.
    If not, you should cease wasting your time on the fairway and just buy lottery tickets.

    One stroke to get in is an ACE; on a par 5 it is a BULL - as in BS :)) This assumes the normal playing length and no severe dogleg.
