California golfer makes the first-ever recorded condor

A par is the average number of strokes an "expert golfer" is expected to need to complete a hole.The holes on the golf course should be rated par.An expert golfer needs on average three strokes to play a hole, par-4, and par-5.There are Par 6 holes, but they are hard to find.

A score of 4-under-par on a golf hole is needed to claim a condor.

One can guess that condors almost never happen because of the fact that there is only one commonly found golf hole and another that is rarely encountered.

It is extremely rare.Exceedingly rare.It is very rare.In golf, scoring a condor is very rare.The most likely way to do it is to ace the par-5 hole.How many times does that happen?There are only a few par-5 holes-in-one in golf history.

The scores are called "condors" because of their rarity.The California condor is a success story in attempts to save a species.At one point, only 27 such birds were known to exist, and all of them were in captivity.The captive breeding program allowed the birds to be reintroduced to the wild in Arizona, Utah and California.
