Today I finally got my first birdie! I am so happy! (6th round ever in my life)

It was a 376 yards par 4.
Shot 1 - Longer than usual (250yrd) #3 Hybrid shot from tee box, landed on fairway with 3 monster bunker in front of me.
Shot 2 - Perfect Pw lay up shot, flew over 3 monster bunkers and landed 1 ft away from the hole.
Shot 3 - Birdie putt!!


Best week of my life in golf: broke 100 three days ago, and first birdie today! Actually this week I'm experiencing some difficulties in life, but I am glad that my performance on course did not get affected.

Feels good breaking 100. Keeps you coming back for more.
Now you need to try to break 95 or 90.
Now see how long it takes you to get to birdies in a round or your first eagle.

Sweetness. Good job.

Well done man, it took me nearly 2 years to get my first and I can still remember it like it was yesterday.
Best week in my life in golf you say, but you forgot to say " so far"
Keep it up man.

I am truly envious! 250 yds with a hybrid! I need a driver for that, and I've already played 18 years...

On the other hand, I made my first birdie on my second round of 9 holes. Birdied hole #1, par4, about 330 meters. Total gross score was 64 so it did not go as well as the beginning... Still have the score card

However all my clubs are only about a month old. I started about 4 months ago with a set of cheap clubs bought on amazon for $150. Pretty broke right now after building my bag, but it's worth it.

It think it was a mis-hit. The ball flight was low, so I believe it has less spin and rolled at least 30 yards on the fairway. My good driver shot is usually 240 yards, max 260 yards. So I am surprised that my hybrid went that far.

congrats. i don't even remember how long it was before i got my first birdie. it took me a good long while just to get a par, though i think my first birdie followed my first par in pretty short order, but yeah... it was at least two or three months after i started before the bird landed.

Congrats my friend.


Nothing like walking off the green with a birdie in hand. Completely satisfying. Now string together some birds and pars in a row and watch those scores drop.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

Congrats! Great job! My wife got her first birdie 2 seasons ago on the first round she ever played on a 'real' golf course. Before that, we had only played par-3 courses for a few months. She made a 15ft downhill putt on a par-3. I missed my birdie putt on the same hole from about 5ft shorter.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
