2025 TST Birdie Challenge

[iacas]

Just like the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2023, and 2024 topics, we're doing it again in 2025!

Once again, I'd like to birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2025 (and maybe every numbered hole on other courses). I'd like you to join me on this quest. I'll have a better chance this year if I don't completely screw up my left thumb in August, too… 😉 This year's spreadsheet is below:

2025 TST Birdie Challenge - Google Sheets

Please click through, add your name, home course, and location, and when you make a score on the holes as you play them, update your line in the spreadsheet with your ringer score, basically. The idea is to score a birdie or better on each hole on the course this year.

If you're above a certain handicap and would like to make it a par challenge, go for it! Just add that note to the Notes column.

Please leave the formatting as is. And note that you only write down one score - if you birdie a hole three times, you aren't writing down -3. It's just your best individual score for each hole.

We can all cheer each other on and see where this takes us!

If you truly play a TON of different courses, then follow these two guidelines:

• If you just play a lot of golf, but still get 20 or 25 (or more) rounds in on one course, consider making that your home course and just doing the birdie challenge there.
• If you truly play only 20-40 rounds per year, and never more than a handful at the same course, consider trying to birdie holes numbered 1 to 18 across all of your courses. Or even doing it twice. Yeah, some hole #17s will be easier birdies than others, but that's why you might do it twice.

Happy New Year Trappers! 

This will be my fourth challenge and I missed it by one hole in 2022 and 2023 (only to birdie the one I needed within a month of the new challenge). Last year I completed the challenge by August and got the monkey off my back! I ended up with 18 birdies with 3 holes being eagles for a -21 total. For 2024, I actually knocked off the harder holes earlier in the year so that I wasn't thinking about the challenge as much as I was thinking about playing golf. 

Against better thinking I checked in to the forum to join again for this year. So far this year I have played 5 rounds and have 7 birdies. Let's see what we can get done for 2025!
