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

Still pretty wet out so we only have the back 9 open.  Played it twice yesterday but no birdies. Played twice again today and managed a bird on #10 and it was good enough for a skin to boot.

all right... manage to get all of the bogeys cleared off the spreadsheet, at least.  Two new birdies, up to 5 now in three rounds.  Amazing that I made 3 birdies with 35 putts yesterday...

Another round another two birds!

If you birdie the same hole multiple times do you keep taking -1 off the tally for the hole?

And another two yesterday,

I have now birdied one hole 4 or 5 times, do I keep taking one off the tally?

Thanks.

Nope.

Birdied the 8th but not 14. So, twelve rounds in Jan, birdied 17 out of 18 holes.

Ok, maybe I should have worded that better.

If I’ve birdie the same hole 5 times , do I change the score on that hole to -5, or leave it as -1 ?

Thanks

Two birdies today and checked off #4, my nemesis hole! Changed my strategy and hit 3-wood off the tee instead of driver.

Two more birdies and two more rounds to go. Honestly, I'd be really surprised if I birdie 8 and 14 in the next two rounds but I'll be trying hard. Pretty cool I've gotten this far 😎

That's ridiculous. You need a monthly birdie challenge. 😊👍

In January, I had 7 other birdies on 6 different holes in 7 rounds, besides the one birdie I recorded in the spreadsheet, at courses different than the one I picked for this challenge.  Oh, well...

Too bad I don't have one at #14 anywhere, as I would have gladly given it to @mvmac to complete his monthly challenge, lol!

I’m in. Having trouble editing the Google doc from my phone, but I will put my info in very shortly.

Sadly, despite living in sunny SoCal, I have yet to play a round at my home course in 2020 and just played my first round anywhere last Friday.

I have tabulated this in my head on a historical basis but never over a single year. Should be fun

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
