2023 TST Birdie Challenge

[Missouri Swede]

Finally birdied one. Riding a cart instead of walking, but I'll still count it. Hole #6. 1/18.

Added a new one today, #7 at Green Knoll.   Hit 8i to 3’, made the putt. Simple game 😉

[Missouri Swede]

Hole #15. 2/18.

[Missouri Swede]

Hole #1. 3/18.

I played two away courses the past few days.

At Rock Barn (Jones course) I birdied: 2, 8, 14, and 18. At LPGA International (Hills course) I birdied only 3 and 10.

Fortunately (mostly because it's early in the year), all were unclaimed so I'm up to seven birdies. Actually I need to look at my Federal Club round…

Looks like I had birdies on… 7, 9, 10, 13, and 16 (most were par fives). So, all but 10 was new (or, they all were, but since I'm adding it later… they're not).

Forest Creek is in the list, but I deleted the round as it was just kind of goofing off. No birdies at Mid Pines a while ago, either.

Finally played my home course of North Kingstown in Rhode Island. Birdied 6 with a putt from off the green.

Frear Park #5

Drove the green (a mere 260), ball was 10ft behind pin. Missed eagle, made birdie!

[billchao]

Birdied the short par 5 #17 at Quail Brook. Smoked a drive over the trees on the right side and drew it back into the fairway. Caught the slope and ended up with a wedge in. Put it on to about 20' past the hole and missed the eagle putt. Tap-in birdie.

Home course #9 is a 385 yard par 4 with bunkers right and left. Hit driver on the back side of right bunker and it got hung up in the rough. I had 140 downhill, ball below feet with a tree blocking me slightly. PW with a cut that floated and hit soft 4 feet from pin. Downhill left edge for the 3. 
 

I only have 4, 11, 15, 16, and 18 left!

Played Whispering Woods today. Mostly a practice round, but if I played a few good shots and didn't move the ball or anything, and made birdie, I counted it.

So… birdied 5 and 12. Both are new as I only had 6 and 7 previously in one round on the course. So, 5-7 and 12 are done now.

Birdied 15 and 16 at an away course this morning (Woodmont CC, North). 16 was a duplicate, but 15 was new.

Birdied the 12th at Whispering Woods today, but I already had that one.

[TourSpoon]

Birdies at 7, 12, and one I needed at 15. 
 

At 7 hit 7 iron 162 to 5 feet. On 12, driver 5 iron to 15 feet and 2 putts. The new hole is 15 and is 350 and pinches at 240 so it was a week 5 wood into the right bunker and a 7 iron to 30 feet. I hit it uphill firm just outside right 6 inches and in the last 4 feet it broke and caught the low side. 

[Denny Bang Bang]

Man, it has been a slow year for birdies considering how much I’ve been playing, but got another one this weekend.  Par 5, on in two, lipped out a 15 ft Eagle putt, got the Birdie.

[billchao]

Two birdies today, back to back, on #2 and #3 at Green Knoll.

Hit hybrid off the tee on #2 to the left edge of the fairway then 3/4 GW inside a foot.

Followed that shot by flushing a 7i on #3 3’ right of the hole.

Then I topped my driver on #4, but that’s OT 😜

[saevel25]

Retroactively added Hole 2, 7, 13, 15, 16 at Good Park. Picked up 13, 15, and 16 this past Thursday. 

[NeilV]

Not had a sniff of a birdie this year then 3 come along at once. Left a 4th one an inch short in the jaws as well.

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.
