Double Eagle

What does double eagle mean?

Three strokes under par

Double eagle is a golf score that means three strokes under par. It may also be the same score as a hole-in-one if par is 4.

There are several terms that represent golf scores. 2 strokes under par is an eagle, 1 stroke under par is a birdie, one stroke over par is a bogey, and two strokes over par is a double bogey. The name is meant to represent a score that is better than the eagle score much like the double bogey is worse than a bogey.
