Golf golf challenge
The task is to create a program which displays a golf score as text. It takes 2 numbers as input, separated by space or new line:

- The first number is the **par** of the specific hole. 
- The second number is the **score** that the player got.

The program should print the textual golf term for the result, given the par. Trailing spaces or line feed are allowed.

Par can be a value between 3 to 5 and is the score that the average golf player is expected to get at that hole for their result to be considered fine. A score lower than par is considered good, a score above par is considered bad.

- A score of 1 is always called "Hole in one".
- A score of -3 below par is called "Albatross".
- A score of -2 below par is called "Eagle".
- A score of -1 below par is called "Birdie".
- A score of +1 above par is called "Bogey".
- A score of +2 above par is called "Double bogey".
- A score of +3 above par is called "Triple bogey".

Scores higher than +3 above par need not be supported by this program. Thus the score will always be a number between 1 and 5+3=8.

Examples of input and output:

    4 4
    Par

    4 3
    Birdie

    4 5
    Bogey

    4 2
    Eagle

    5 2 
    Albatross

    3 1
    Hole in one

    4 1
    Hole in one

    3 6
    Triple bogey

    5 8
    Triple bogey

    4 6
    Double bogey

This is (code) golf, shortest source per language wins.
