Aside from the elusive albatross (three-under on a hole), the eagle, a score of two-under on a hole, is one of the rarer birds in the game of golf. Statistics provided by Arccos suggest a 5 handicap index golfer will make one every 52 rounds... so when I turned up at Sunningdale Heath Golf Club in Surrey tasked with making one within 24 hours, the odds were seemingly stacked against me.
