Last year I had two "firsts" on one hole. My first putt for eagle and my first three-putt-par.

Well yesterday I had another first. I got 3 birdies in one round. I actually got two in a row! That's pretty good for a guy who averages .5 birdies per round. The best thing was that on one hole one of the mowers watched me play the hole. I hit a drive right in the middle of the fairway. Then knocked my second shot about fifteen feet from the hole. Had one of those down hill tricklers that lo and behold trickled in the hole. The mower gave me a fist pump! The back to back birdies were really sweet. The only problem was that on the previous hole I had a nice little 9 which didn't help my total score one bit.

Congrats! The only thing better than a textbook birdie is a textbook birdie in front of a gallery. I hope you avoided the infamous "post-birdie" syndrome that seems to jump up and get me all the time.

Congrats... I always seem follow up a birdie with my name, and it frustrates the crap out of me. Just when you think you get the hang of things BAM... back to reality.

Congrats again

The last time I made a birdie, I was more proud of the par I made on the next hole. :)

something i really love is 3 years ago my first birdie was a chip in. I was on a 345 par 4 and i drove really short. my second shot came short of the green and i used a pitching wedge and chipped it in from about 50. It was really awsome.

    • Got off to probably one of my best starts ever last night.   Was -1 thru 5 and finished the front 9 with a +1 (37).   The back 9 wasn't very good but we were playing speed golf to try and beat the darkness.   Ended up with 37/44 for an 81.   Still a great score for me.    My last 5-6 rounds have all contributed to my handicap index so we trending in the right direction.
    • I don't see the swing speed as any advantage or disadvantage either way. While they don't have the "WOW!" factor that some of the men have. i.e. "Did you see Rory's 380 yard drive on 17!" That kind of thing. They do, however, play the courses shorter. I think their average LPGA Tour course is like 6400 yards, compared to 7300 for the men. So when I watch it on TV it looks kinda the same. They hit driver then 8 iron, just like the men hit driver then 8 iron. I don't really care that the hole is 100 yards shorter or whatever.  Let me put it another way. If I was to watch the WNBA and then watch the NBA, I would immediately notice how much slower the players are. How much more the men play above the rim. etc... Why? Because the court is the same size. The hoop is the same height. When I watch the LPGA Tour and then watch the PGA Tour, I don't notice (as much). They hit driver then 5 iron into a par-5 just like the men do. Because the course is smaller, it looks similar. BTW - The same is true of softball vs baseball. The softball diamond is much smaller. So, the line shots look similar, there are equally as many home runs, because the field is smaller it looks pretty similar in play.  Here's where to my way of thinking, they can make some hay. If the LPGA Tour was to lead the way in terms of pace of play they may be able to add additional excitement to their game and possibly start to make some converts. I'm an idiot who has never been a sports commissioner. But it seems that when MLB noticed their games started approaching 4 hours and Major League Soccer was always done in under 2 hours. They made changes to try to improve and it seems to be working.  With the LPGA Tour it seems you either need exciting personalities or need exciting play. If they improve the pace of play issue it could add to exciting play. Again, I'm no expert but that seems like an area they could lead instead of follow. It does seem they've recognized this. So, we shall see.
