I am no birdie machine but every once in a while several in a row go in.  My best string of holes goes back years: eagle, birdie, birdie, birdie.  At the time I had never shot under 45 for 9 holes and never broke 90 for a full 18.  For that brief period of time I was unstoppable.  After opening the round with a double bogey I rolled in a putt for my first eagle and then followed that with 3 consecutive birdies.  Thoughts of a course record were quickly extinguished by a series of bogeys, doubles and triples.  Barely kept it under 50 for the nine.

Since that time the best I have been able to do is three consecutive birdies and those occurrences are few and far between.  Don't really know what my best string of "par or better" holes is.  I know I have never made par on every hole for nine.

What about everyone else?

I've made 5 consecutive pars and 3 consecutive birdies.  The three birdies were 7, 8, and 9 on my home course.  The 7 is a long uphill very tough par 3 that has a big green but steep drop offs on all side and a lot of lateral hazard in front.  Stuck a 3H and sunk the putt.  Hole 8 is easy dogleg right.  Drive from the gold tees (one tee up from tips) only needs 240 carry to get over the line of bunkers and leaves with an easy SW into the green.  Next up par 5.  Easy drive, cautious 200 yd layup that must carry water and avoid bunkers in landing area, wedge to green and a putt.  Was a great day I could hardly believe it.

A few weeks ago I started my round +1 through 3 then eagle-birdie-birdie on holes 4-6. Felt good until the panic set in on the 7th tee realizing I was standing there at -3. Of course I played 7-9 +3 to finish the front even. It was late so I only made it a few more holes before it got dark but I played those even par as well. I thought it was a fluke but it opened a door because with the exception of one bad front 9 my scores have dropped considerably.

I have gone eagle birdie or birdie eagle and have made 3 birdies in 4 holes, but don't think I have ever had 3 under par holes in a row.

Not sure about my longest par string, but Tuesday I closed with 8 straight pars and Wednesday I opened up with 4 consecutive pars for a total of 12 pars in a row.  After the bogey at 5, I made 3 pars, a birdie and 3 more pars so I was even for a 20 hole stretch over 2 days with 18 pars, 1 birdie and 1 bogey.

No promises because I've only been keeping stats for a year or so now but ...

I think my longest streak of birdies is 2 (I don't recall ever having more than 3 in a round) and my longest string of pars is 5.

Coincidentally, my longest string of single bogies appears to also be 5 ... as does my longest string of "others" (double or worse).  :)

I don't know if it's my longest string or not, but 3 years ago I had 6 consecutive pars.  Couldn't tell you if I've bested that or not since then.

Last year I had 3 consecutive birdies on holes 6, 7 and 8.  Then promptly made an "other" on the 9th finishing hole.  It was either triple or a quad after putting 2 in the drink.

The course I used to belong to had back to back par 5s and I made eagles back to back on them quite a few times. The next hole is a drivable par 4 and my goal was to someday make three eagles in a row on those three holes. Never happened so two eagles and a birdie is the best I've ever done over three holes. I also made back to back eagles at my current course last year but quite a bit of luck was involved since I holed out a PW on a par 4 and made a 30' eagle putt on the next hole, a par 5.

The best stretch of golf I've ever played was on a winter day and I only had time for 8 holes (and used the lights on my golf cart for the last putt). Made a par on the first hole and then made 7 straight birdies. I have no clue what was going on that day because I had never hit the ball that well before and I have never hit the ball that well since. All of my birdie putts were inside of 8 feet.

I always wondered how long I might have been able to hold it together that day if I had more daylight.

On Wednesday I had a Par, Birdie, Par, Par, Eagle, Birdie stretch. One of my better ones.

My favorite was playing a difficult course in Florida and I birdied 3 out of the first four holes. All very difficult holes by making 3 20 plus foot putts.

I've made 4 birdies in a row at least twice....

I went EAGLE-EAGLE...once

I don't know how many pars in a row....I know I've shot even par for 9 holes with all pars a few times.  What is the longest streak? LOL...I don't know.  I never really thought about it. It's definitely more than 9!!

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
