Birdie book is an hole-by-hole accurate yardage/map for a golf course.

I've heard from some people that golf courses provide birdie book for its guests. However, I've never seen one and received one whenever I play.

Do you get one when u play?

Can somebody show me the scan of a birdie book?

Not all courses have them.
Some courses charge for them as they can be souvenirs.

Thanks for the scan.

It will be nice if all Golf Courses offer these books to all guests at $4.99 (and less)..... or even FREE. But some courses where I played don't even make them... It's like shooting in the dark without these books....

Love the Birdie books! I would love to have one of every course I play! Awesome!
I bought a pack of very cheap yardage books that have evrything but the yardages. You had to fill that out yourself. too time consuming. do a search on golfwits if you want to check them out. Not nearly as nice as the Birdie Book though.

I don't think Skycaddie & Range finders are permitted on Tournaments.... since I play one tournament a month. It's also a good habit to practice using birdie book.

They are allowed by the USGA, but they can still be banned by individual clubs for competition play. You just have to ask. They give the same distance information as a book, and they work for any course you want to play (although in some cases you have to input the info yourself the first time you play).

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
