Just wondering how often do you birdie a hole? I guess any red numbers including eagles and albatross.

i make more eagles than i do birdies, lol. I can go a month with no birdies, then the next two weeks or so, i can birdie 6 or 7 holes. My blow up holes really screw me over.

Every 2-3 rounds for me.

can't remember the last time i didn't have a birdie. i'm pretty long off the tee, so i get at least one or two a round on the par 5's. but then again, i can't remember the last round i didn't have at least one double bogey. :(

Just about every 90-100 holes. It's dropping at a good pace as my putting inside 10' improves. It's to the point where all I need is 2-3 good approaches to get a birdie.

That, and not getting too excited. I missed a 5' birdie putt that came off of a 3-wood approach... because I was about to birdie off a 3-wood.

Last year I was too lazy to keep up my statistics but previous years I had average of 1.2 birdies per round. Last year I made a new personal record by making 5 birdies on one round (all of then on back nine!), this season the best is 3 so far.

Then again, my best round this season was with no birdies, just pars and bogeys (+7).

I would average 3 every two rounds. The occasional round with 3 birdies gets cancelled out by the occasional one with none. It would be an odd round to have none.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

The most birdies I've had in a round and 9-holes is 2. First one off of a 5 footer on a par 3 and the next one was an unexpected 20 footer that broke about 10 feet and was going down the slope.

Still haven't made the eagle putt yet. Wish I just holed one out from the fairway to be done with that business!

I picked every round but like others have said it varies. My average is probably between one and two a round, some with more and some with none.

I'm pretty disappointed if I play a whole round with no birdies.

I've only had 2 birdies this year. One was a bump and run into the hole from 40 feet, the other was a 35 foot putt that would have run off the green if the hole hadn't gotten in the way.

For me, a par feels like a birdie ;)

I got a birdie about 2 weeks ago on a great shot on a par 3, just missed one earlier this week by inches on another par 3 but I realistically get maybe one a month.

I probably only average 1 or 2 per 18 holes, but my short game is good enough to keep me out of alot of bogies.

    • Nah, man. People have been testing clubs like this for decades at this point. Even 35 years. @M2R, are you AskGolfNut? If you're not, you seem to have fully bought into the cult or something. So many links to so many videos… Here's an issue, too: - A drop of 0.06 is a drop with a 90 MPH 7I having a ball speed of 117 and dropping it to 111.6, which is going to be nearly 15 yards, which is far more than what a "3% distance loss" indicates (and is even more than a 4.6% distance loss). - You're okay using a percentage with small numbers and saying "they're close" and "1.3 to 1.24 is only 4.6%," but then you excuse the massive 53% difference that going from 3% to 4.6% represents. That's a hell of an error! - That guy in the Elite video is swinging his 7I at 70 MPH. C'mon. My 5' tall daughter swings hers faster than that.
    • Yea but that is sort of my quandary, I sometimes see posts where people causally say this club is more forgiving, a little more forgiving, less forgiving, ad nauseum. But what the heck are they really quantifying? The proclamation of something as fact is not authoritative, even less so as I don't know what the basis for that statement is. For my entire golfing experience, I thought of forgiveness as how much distance front to back is lost hitting the face in non-optimal locations. Anything right or left is on me and delivery issues. But I also have to clarify that my experience is only with irons, I never got to the point of having any confidence or consistency with anything longer. I feel that is rather the point, as much as possible, to quantify the losses by trying to eliminate all the variables except the one you want to investigate. Or, I feel like we agree. Compared to the variables introduced by a golfer's delivery and the variables introduced by lie conditions, the losses from missing the optimal strike location might be so small as to almost be noise over a larger area than a pea.  In which case it seems that your objection is that the 0-3% area is being depicted as too large. Which I will address below. For statements that is absurd and true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. You will need to provide some objective data to back that up and also define what true 100% sweet spot is. If you mean the area where there are 0 losses, then yes. While true, I do not feel like a not practical or useful definition for what I would like to know. For strikes on irons away from the optimal location "in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?"   In my opinion it ok to be dubious but I feel like we need people attempting this sort of data driven investigation. Even if they are wrong in some things at least they are moving the discussion forward. And he has been changing the maps and the way data is interpreted along the way. So, he admits to some of the ideas he started with as being wrong. It is not like we all have not been in that situation 😄 And in any case to proceed forward I feel will require supporting or refuting data. To which as I stated above, I do not have any experience in drivers so I cannot comment on that. But I would like to comment on irons as far as these heat maps. In a video by Elite Performance Golf Studios - The TRUTH About Forgiveness! Game Improvement vs Blade vs Players Distance SLOW SWING SPEED! and going back to ~12:50 will show the reference data for the Pro 241. I can use that to check AskGolfNut's heat map for the Pro 241: a 16mm heel, 5mm low produced a loss of efficiency from 1.3 down to 1.24 or ~4.6%. Looking at AskGolfNut's heatmap it predicts a loss of 3%. Is that good or bad? I do not know but given the possible variations I am going to say it is ok. That location is very close to where the head map goes to 4%, these are very small numbers, and rounding could be playing some part. But for sure I am going to say it is not absurd. Looking at one data point is absurd, but I am not going to spend time on more because IME people who are interested will do their own research and those not interested cannot be persuaded by any amount of data. However, the overall conclusion that I got from that video was that between the three clubs there is a difference in distance forgiveness, but it is not very much. Without some robot testing or something similar the human element in the testing makes it difficult to say is it 1 yard, or 2, or 3?
