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.

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
