Swear I've heard 'boom boom' Phil Mickelson, seems ridiculous now I think about it though.

I've heard Double Eagle for 3 under par, didn't know albatross.

Double 2 makes 3? If anything, a 3-under should be An-Eagle-and-a-Half.

You're asking sports terms to make sense? Like how tennis points are love, 15, 30, and 40?

Double Eagle is indeed a term for -3.

It is a correct term but it still doesn't make sense. I've always called it an albatross. They are all named after birds, even a hole in one on a par 5 is called a condor.

I added "one-word" to the clue to get rid of this double eagle nonsense. Some interesting facts: The odds of shooting an albatross are 1 in 6 million. But it's possible to do even better. A hole-in-one on a par 5 is known as a "condor", and has actually been done four times.

It's not nonsense...I've never heard of an albatross and I've heard of a double eagle a number of times. Wikipedia notes the same.

An albatross around your neck for not accepting double eagle from the start. ;-)

You've never heard of an albatross and you play golf?

I don't know how often you watch/play golf, but I've known about the term albatross for more than 25 years. The term double-eagle is a misnomer anyway.

Can you accept Solheim Cup for the biennial tournament, or make the question say "Men's Professional" (could also be Walker or Curtis, except those are GB&I, not whole Europe)

"Caddyshack" & "Tin Cup", but no "Happy Gilmore"?

Just came back from a golf course and saw your golf quiz, which is a great one - not too difficult, but sure it helps if one is a golfer. Condor was a new term.

A pull is when you swing outside to in, causing it to start left and stay there. A hook is when you start is straight, and unintentionally curve the ball left.

St. Andrews is technically not the oldest course. It is actually Prestwick Golf Course
