Birdied the fourth hole at Sewanee a month ago. Forgot to add that. Have only the third hole left on the composite. Hmmm, where can I find a third-hole par-five…? 😄

This month I have made a mess of birdies, putting is off the charts with an average of 29 putts for the last 5 rounds. Still #10 eludes me. Yesterday, driver - knock down 8 to 12 feet. Soooooo close! Another tap in par, lol.

Once again I missed it by one hole. In 2021 it was pesky 16 (which was one of the first holes to fall last year) and for 2022 it was 10. I am playing today and fully expect to birdie 10 the next 3 times I play! 🤣🤣🤣

As I had suspected at the beginning of last year's quest, I was unable to birdie #2 and #15 long par 4 holes at my club (both beyond my distance to reach in 2 from my normal tees).

8th hole today.  Short par 4.  Great drive and maybe 50 yards to the green.  PW and the ball dropped to about 2 feet or so from the pin.  Bit of a left to right slider but made it and happy front 9.

Wrong thread! 🙂  We are in 2023 now, you know... Unless you want to complete the challenge over whatever number of years it takes, lol. I would understand that too.  :beer:

    • Chirp, chirp, … it took several rounds and finally I started making a few birdies. One specific par 5 on the course is my go-to hole for hitting birdies regularly.
    • Day 73: 6/4/23 Backswing practice t o promote full extension and width instead of narrowing my arms. Trying to promote consistency.
    • So Friday I went to East Lansing, Michigan to play Forest Akers West with my brother.... well we get there and they had an outing that morning and my brother is like wait, i have the confirmation email right here....  ( they scheduled ) it for saturday lol..    So we ended up playing Forest Akers East and College Field.     Now Akers East for the $, i thought was nice, still a bit challenging, but not terribly hard...   my swing was wonky all day long so that didn't help at all.    And I shot a even 100 lol ( had 3 lost balls too).    my brother being the punk that he is, shot an 81 so off to College Field , and everyone knows that Friday was hotter than the devils sauna..    And a few Long Drink beer's later and we are both cooled off and refreshed...  the course is nice!!  kinda open, but still had challenges and houses lined the course, so there was OB everywhere.    I ended up shooting a 95 ( had another 3 lost balls )      Oh and at the turn the Ranger at College Field was handing out cooling towels to take with you on the back 9.   which was nice, because we'd just dip them in our ice bag to keep the towels cold.
