Almost all of mine come on par 3 or par 5 holes. Rarely hit less than a six iron into a par 4s.

I used to get more birdies, esp. on par 4 and 5 holes. My overall score was much higher, though. I think this was due to trying 'hero' shots that rarely...but SOMEtimes...pay off. I try and play a more controlled game now and have managed to shave off some strokes from my index, but one result has been fewer birdies.

Usually about one per 18 holes. I'd like that to improve quite a bit though. The other day I shot a 77 with 3 birds...that felt a bit better. With my decent length off the tee I feel I should be getting a lot better look at birdies...just need to stick my irons closer to the hole...working on that as we speak.
I'm just one of those guys that is going to shoot bogeys here and there, so to be close to par I feel I also need to make a few birdies a round to balance things out. If I can keep the real uglies off the score card then I can start shooting consisntly in the mid to high-70s, which is my goal atm.

I got my first birdie!!!

It was a 152 yard par 3 shot and Im the ball closest to the pin. The funny thing is that on the next hole i was doing bad, but I chipped the bogey shot into the cup from about 20 yards away. LOL. Not bad for a 3 month player and I shot a 107 today. Best legit score Ive had all year.

Whats in the Four 5?

Usually at least 1 every 9 holes because there are 2 short par 5's on my home course :). I still remember my first birdie ever.. it was a par 5 and I was chipping from just off the green for my 3rd and completely duffed the shot and the ball barely even moved.. I was a bit embarrassed so i just hit the 4th shot and chipped it in.. :)

I probably average one per round. MAYBE a little less, but my last five rounds or so I think I've made one per 18.

Funny thing is, the past 3 rounds, I've played the same course. And I've birdied the same hole, for my only birdie of the round, each time...

And it was the first hole! LOL.

Depending on the course and how hard it is, I usually average at least 1 birdie per round.

My most birdies I've ever had in a single round was 3.

I would say 1 every 3rd round right now. Most of the times it is par 3s but the occasional par 4. At my best it was 1/rd but I could never get rid of the doubles. they still kill me.

On average, 1 a round-which means some rounds with 2 or 3, and some with nary a birdie to be seen.

about once every four rounds

I made one today, so it'll be a while.

I have never had two birdies in one round, an eagle or a double eagle.

In Match Play my birdies are more the result of a chip in rather than actual birdie try. But fortunately I play mostly non match play golf and nearly always with a $5 skins game for about 20 of us who play regularily. Playing skins I commonly have 2-3 birdies a round... with maybe one holding up for a skin.
Ex: Last week 30 players = probably over 20 total birdies BUT only 2 skins, each worth $75. Of which I was a proud winner of one.
I am not a long hitter so most of birdies must come on the par 3's and 4's.
Rarely do I birdie a Par 5. My weapon is my putting! I am an aggressive putter which I am sure leads to more birdies... and more 3 putt bogeys, thus the reason my handicap (currently 11) seems high for the number of birdies I get. I am not a sandbagger, just at times too aggressive in putting... try explaining that to the guys whose skin money you just won!

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
