Here's the deal, folks: I'd like to play enough golf and birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2020. I'd like you to join me on this quest. So, I've set up a spreadsheet here:

Completed "Birdie - Challenge" yesterday with a great shot on the 18th hole to 2 feet for the final hole to bird. Made 4 birds yesterday and 3 again today. Decent rounds, but had a few poor swings

WooooOOOOOOO!!!!!! Finally pulled it off in about the 14th round at Whispering Woods (from the blue or black tees)! I needed 1 and 2, and most of the time, I'd show up and roll onto the first tee

My ski season was cut short due to a knee injury and covid-19. After 6 weeks of rehab, I finally got my first round of golf in today and shot a 79 with 10 pars + 1 birdie!

@iacas I just remembered my home course has 27 holes and which 18 I play on a given day is random. How should I enter my score?

Many ski resorts here have closed...including Whistler Blackcomb which still has 6+ weeks left....I've skied Whistler in May....then downloaded at 1pm to go play golf at the Whistler Golf Club.

Sorry to hear about your injured messed up ski season.

I say pick the 18 you play the most frequently. The other nine will be like a course that isn't your "home course," and if you play it and nine on your "home 18" then those nine holes on your "home" 18 can count.

Checked two more off this list yesterday. I have now birdied all 4 of the par 5's, but only one par 3 and one par 4. Now comes the hard part.

I'm with you.  Three rounds in, and I've birdied all four par-5s, and two short par-4s, I've got all the low-hanging fruit.

Playing now. Birdied nine so far. Two of my par fives are not easy. Especially 15.

Dude - I’ll make 1 birdie every 1-2 rounds. So jealous

I generally play 15-20 rounds/year spanning 6-7 courses, so I will have to piece it together. 

Hole 1 - Pendleton GC, Ruther Glen VA

Hole 8 - Pendleton GC, Ruther Glen, VA

Total: 2/18

Played yesterday and birdied #7, which is an easy par 4 at our course.  Good enough though, no one else in the croup cut me off.   Today, I was running a bit late, no practice warm up and started off good with a birdie on #1 par 5, followed by a birdie on #9 par 5 and another on #10 par 5.  A pretty good round for me today with 3 birdies.

Birdie on #2 today.  I never got within about 10' of my playing group today.  We are playing with raised cups so nobody has to put a hand in the cup either.  Not sure how much longer our course will be able to stay open.

You still get to post that in the spreadsheet as a -2 instead of the -1.

Yep I did for March, I eagled it last time I played it, so it was a repeat.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
