I remember mine too ... it was two years ago ... 9I to a 127 yd. green ... drained an 18 footer for bird ...

Women, Beer and Birdies ... you never forget your first!

Congrats!!! Mine was on a par 3 as well, Think when I was around 8 or so. Chipping in from about 10 yards.

Its a great feeling, and you've broken the barrier, wait for many more to come.

Congrats! Now go out and get some more!

Just curious though, you are a 17 handicap and just got a birdie? I'm actually suprised. You must make a ton of pars!

[polodinks]

thanks guys.......my usual game is 3 pars per 9 holes and 2 i cant use a driver so there lies my big problem with my birds cause for some reason just cant swing the damn thing but im working on it...... my ball striking is pretty good now cause all i use are long irons lol

You should feel stoked!! It's nice to get results from your hours of practice and dedication to the game. This game has many ways of rewarding us. It's amazing...we could play bad all throughout the game..and then the last hole drive a ball straight down the middle, nail the green and two putt...and that ONE hole will bring us back week after week. Congratulations!!!

Totally awesome. I still remember my first like it was yesterday. It was a 297 yard par 4 and it was all because of my drive. The drive put me about 20 yards from the edge of the green, chipped it to about 6 feet and then made the put. I know exactly how you feel, enjoy it and know there will be many more

[Octuple Bogey]

That's awesome! My first came on a typical par 3 after I'd been playing for about a year. I hit the ball to a few feet and then sunk the putt. Good luck and may you have many more birdies... perhaps even an eagle someday.

Just got my first on Saturday. A short 227 yard par 4, hit a 4 iron about 185, pitched it onto the fringe, hit a seven iron about 5 feet away a drain the put. Felt great.

[HXCarib56]

Well done, gentlemen. Here's to many more!

[AlCzervik]

Had my first par and birdie this season too.

It was a gap wedge shot from the rough about 25 yards from the cup, bounced and rolled right into the hole. :)

[thomas_mikel]

Isn't it a great feeling? Congratulations.

Yeah I was gonna say, 4 iron off the tee of a par 5? With you being only a 17 handicap you could probably get so many more birdies if you could learn to use your driver.
