LEBANON — Jaden Poirier has joined an elite club — a very elite club.

A hole-in-one in golf is a rarity. A double eagle, also called an albatross, which is three shots under par, is even rarer. There is a greater chance of being struck by lightning than doing both in the same round.

Playing with three friends at the Carter Country Club men’s league earlier this month, Poirier, 18, accomplished the feat in his nine-hole round. The ace came on his third hole of the day, followed by the albatross — a 2 on a par-5 hole — on his sixth hole.

“I was thinking, ‘Wow, that is an albatross, not a birdie or an eagle,’ ” Poirier said, recalling his immediate reaction after finding the ball in the bottom of the cup with his second shot on Carter’s 500-yard par-5 third hole. “Only a handful of people have done it, and even fewer have done it with a hole-in-one.”

The National Hole-in-One Registry puts the odds of a hole-in-one at 12,500-to-1 for the average golfer, according to an article on the website PGA America. The same article cites two sources that put the odds of an albatross at one in 6 million as a golfer must make two perfect shots, not one. The odds of making both in a single round are astronomical.

Poirier, who took up golf about six years ago, began the afternoon on Aug. 1 on Carter’s par-4 seventh hole in a shotgun start, where every group of golfers starts at a different hole. Two holes later, Poirier teed off on the par-3, 103-yard ninth hole.

“It was a perfect shot and landed five or six feet past the hole, then spun back into the hole,” Poirier said of his hole-in-one. “I couldn’t believe it. Everybody was excited and hollering, and I went running up to the green trying to make sense of it.”

Three holes later Poirier joined the elite group of golfers. His first shot with his driver on the third hole was about 300 yards, “exactly down the center,” he said.

Preparing for his second shot, Poirier said he was not entertaining thoughts of holing out from such a long distance.

“Before the hole-in-one, I never holed out beyond 60 or 70 yards and maybe had only six of those,” he said.

“I just hit away, fingers crossed that I could hit the green for an eagle putt.”

The shot hit the green with some speed and maintained its line to the cup. At first, Poirier said he was “super excited” but then was not quite sure if the ball went in.

“You think, ‘Did this really just happen? Did it go long on the green?’ ” said Poirier, who led Hartford Hurricanes to the VPA Division II golf state championship last fall. “We were 200 yards away and there is a little uphill, so visibility was limited. The green is a little elevated, so it is hard to see the entire flat surface.”

As the foursome approached the green, they saw nothing on the green and nothing long.

“So we get up there and look (in the cup), and there it is,” Poirier said.

Erin Stevens, Hartford High’s golf coach, said it was nice that Poirier, who lives in Wilder and will golf for the University of Southern Maine this fall, had the hole-in-one and an albatross combo on his home course.

“I’m immensely proud of him. He has come a long way, and his golf game is phenomenal,” Stevens said. “He has grown so much with the mental approach to the game.”

Stevens said Poirier is “very coachable and a leader” and while very talented, he also understands that he has things to work on.

“He is totally ready for college golf. I’m really excited about the next few years for him,” Stevens said.

As he prepared to complete the second round of the club championship on Wednesday and head off to college the next day, Poirier said he was still trying to take in one of the rarest feats in golf.

“It is pretty special,” he said. “I know there are a significant amount of hole-in-ones and it is unreal to join that club, but this is unbelievable.”
