Don't 'Hole in One' in Japan

If you have ever dreamt of hitting a hole in one, then just make sure that you don't do it in Japan .
In Japan, a hole in one is called an ‘albatross’ The reason for the name will become apparent if you ever put the ball into the hole in one shot. A Japanese hole in one will be met with whoops of delight from your fellow golfers, but these are not a display of joy for you. For in Japan it is customary that when a golfer hits a hole in one, they should throw a celebration party and shower their fellow golfers with gifts.
