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

In the last couple of rounds, I've managed to add a couple of the toughest holes, both with chip-ins.  I got our 12th a couple weeks ago with about a 60-foot chip and run.  Today I got the par-3 4th hole with a high pitch from maybe 25 feet.  Both are really tough pars, and great birdies.  So far I have 11 of the 18.

Birdied #8 at Warrenbrook today, so I added it to the by-hole sheet. I dislike that hole so I’m happy to birdie it. Had a good look at eagle, too. It was not to be.

I don’t care how you do it, a birdie at the 12th is impressive.

Had a pretty good day.

  • Hit a wedge to five feet and made the putt on 5 for a birdie. I already had that one though.
  • Hit a 6I to 10-12 feet after a heeled (but straight) drive on 10, made the putt on the high side (it broke a foot). This one counted as new.
  • Hit a 6I to a foot on 14. Tapped in. That was a new one.
  • Hit a driver, 3W into the wind on 15, left a lob wedge short on the front of the green (I hate that green for wedge approach shots), and buried the 35-40 footer. That was a new one too.
  • Almost made a wiggly 10-footer on 8 after hitting a driver 350 (one cart path bounce, but I creamed it too).
  • Almost jarred an eagle shot from 136 on 17, but the ball pulled back to 14 feet and I left it just a bit low. Dammit.
  • Had only 150 in to 18 from a sidehill (ball above) stance which I normally love. Left it out right a bit.

So, I went from 7 to 10 birdies (or better) and -11 under par total.

What qualifies as downhill in Florida?  10 feet?  😁  345 feet is the tallest mountain...

Haven't seen my home course since an unusually warm day in January. Hitting the ball like turds anyway but needless to say, no progress at all.

After not birding any par 5's yesterday, checked off three today, 5 birdies total.

Good start to the month, ten birdies in two rounds on nine different holes.

I'm taking advantage of the opening of golf courses here in New Mexico. I played Sunday, Tuesday and today. I hit balls and practiced the other two days the course has been open. I finally birdied #6 today. Its one of the easiest holes on the course, but I kept screwing it up. Today I drove the green and two-putted for birdie. I also drove the green on Sunday, but 3 putted from 20 feet for par. 😬 I also eagled #15 on Sunday so I have now eagled all 4 par 5's.

Birdied the 12th today, another par 3. Started from 10 due to a frost delay this morning (seriously, in May?) so it was the third hole of the day. Hit my 7i just left of center and it faded due to a heavy left to right wind, ending up in the back right quadrant of the green. Made a 2% right breaking 20 footer right in the center of the PVC hole insert.

After a great start to the month last week, this weekend sucked. One birdie yesterday (repeat) and three today, checked off the 4th hole.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By Sammydreep ·

      Yes, slightly. Hitting driver and three wood much better, generally straight or a slight draw, Especially since I upgraded from ping G 410 to G 430. Both clubs have 2degrees more loft. That together with a slight swing  change, improved technology ,definitely getting more distance.  On the downside not hitting my ions as well as normal, pitching definitely improving, especially for someone who got to a four handicap 30 years ago and couldn’t pitch . Chipping a bit up and down, pardon the pun, that was definitely one of the reasons I got to that  handicap when I played many moons  ago, ( I stopped playing for 20 years), better short putter than I was before Had quite a few opportunities to shoot my age, 73, mostly didn’t chip as well as I could when I had the chance.
