What is an "eagle"?

An eagle in golf is when a player completes a hole in two strokes less than par, which is the standard number of strokes for that hole. For example, if a hole is a par 5, an eagle would mean completing it in 3 strokes. Scoring an eagle is a significant achievement and indicates an excellent performance on that hole, often due to a long drive or an accurate approach shot. Eagles help lower a player's overall score and are highly sought after in competitive golf.
