I am finished! Finally birdied the par 3 16th hole at my course. FWIW I have also eagled all the Par 5s this year as well.

Birdied 18 again today, so a repeat. Five rounds in and I have four birdies at my "home" course with one repeat. I'm three holes away from finishing the par challenge, though #8 is going to be hard. I think I may have made par on that hole once ever. I'm actually surprised I haven't made par on #10 yet this year.

I only made one birdie today, on the 14th hole (not at my home course), which I already had.

Played Beacon Hill Golf Club today for the first time.  3 birdies but 2 were repeats.  The golf gods smiled at me on the front nine.

No new birdies, but checked off a par on a hole that has been kicking my ass this year. Played it just about perfectly, but missed an 8-footer for birdie. Hopefully this opens the gates for me on this one, as I haven't even had a putt for better than bogie this year.

Oy.  
 

played the home course on Wednesday.  Had birdie putts of 10ft or less on holes 9, 12, 15, and 16.  

walked away with zero birdies.  As a matter of fact, managed to turn #9 into a bogey.
 

cant get out of my own head.  

Ugh.  Played 9 today. Missed a 7 footer for bird on 15, and a 10 footer for bird on 16. 
 

its in my head now.

Finally got back out this past Sunday. That was the first 18 hole round I have had in what feels like forever. But I rattled off more birdies that I ever have in one round. I had 5 birdies. It was a good day.

Made two birdies today, #5 and #13 on the Away sheet. Already had #5 from a different course, so #13 is the new one. I need a par on #1 at an away course to finish the par challenge.

I am in.  My wife & I just joined at Southview and only have a few rounds in there.  I will update the spreadsheet in a bit.  Finally have a semi healthy body again. It's been a brutal 3 years, but I am excited to do this challenge

Rules question for the challenge:  can I count a match play round?  Round 1 of my club's match play is on Sunday, and I'm playing at my home course for it.  I'm a little surprised at how good my score in this challenge already is, given that neither of my (only two) rounds at my home course this year weren't that good.  

I figure for the match play if a shot is conceded I'll count most likely score, or skip the hole for the challenge if it's unclear (e.g., like in one year in one match, a hole was conceded to me before I hit a shot).
