Well done Valentino on this extremely rare accomplishment! ⛳️ 🏌🏽‍♂️ We're always proud to see what our alumni (ex learners) are achieving 🌟

Par‑5 perfection — Valentino’s incredible albatross! 🐦⛳
Valentino Daniels carded the rarest of birds — the second recorded albatross in EP Golf tournament play history — at St Francis Bay Golf Club during the St Francis Classic on Sunday 5 July 2026. 💥 That is three under in one hole, let that sink in for a moment!
Valentino Daniels hit the ideal drive, down the middle. Not thinking he'd reach, he selected his three‑wood and flushed it, covering 247m to albatross the Par‑5 6th — a hole famed for its tiny green that’s tough to hold on any day.
An astonishing achievement for any golfer, let alone at age fifteen! 🎉 (The first albatross was recorded by the legendary Dennis Smith in the 80's on the 17th hole during the playing of the Wedgewood Vase).
There’s no single definitive probability, but an albatross (hole‑in‑two on a par‑5) is extremely rare.
Rough practical estimates:
Professional level: on the order of 1 in 500,000 to 1 in 2,000,000 rounds (very roughly 0.00005%–0.0002%).
Amateur level: much rarer — commonly estimated between about 1 in 1,000,000 and 1 in 6,000,000 rounds.
Valentino, we salute you! 🏆
