Birdie count for 2013.....

counting only Qualifiers, 3 in 5 rounds..........must try harder!!!

Ha! I was just thinking about you probably making more birdies than anyone else based simply on your h/cap (so birdies are likely) and the frequency with which you play (a lot)..... any idea how many you made last year?
 
I thnk it currently stands at 2. One on our second a SI5 par 5, driver, 5 wood, wedge and single putt. Second last weekend on the 2nd at Pype Hayes, driver, wedge then 10ft putt. Thats all I can remember.

Just checked HDID..........56 birdies in 75 Qualifiers........think I need to improve on that percentage this year.........great thread to focus the mind........ :thup:

just checked an interesting stat: from Jan 2012 to Aug 2012, I played 48 qualifiers and had 47 birdies, but my handicap went up to 9.4 in that time..........then from Aug to the end of the year I played 17 qualifiers with only 9 birdies, but my handicap went from 9.4 to 5.4....... Go figure!!! I guess consistency trumps Birdies! :confused:
 
4 so far - which | think is close to last years total. Includes one at our 8th - SI 1 - which at weekends we use as one of our three starting holes. A tough start at which I get two shots, so you can imagine I was pleased - but you may be familiar with the phrase "and then the wheels fell off..."
 
none this year as I haven't played a proper round as yet. Woburn might actually be my first full round of the year if the weather stays as crummy as it has been
 
No idea on exact amount easily 10+ had 5 this weekend including 3 two's on Saturday! and had 3 two's (played the 9th, 10th and 11th in 7 shots!!!) the previous weekend!
 
pics and review FD? How was it with the recent weather issues?

Watch this space.... just got back!

Courses in good nick, nice greens. A big bit of GUR on one fairway on the Ailsa (5th I think), most bunkers on the Kintyre flooded and GUR on the day I played but no such problem on Ailsa the following day. Weather was amazing this weekend - I got very lucky!
 
5 or 6 so far

I usually get one in every 18 holes I play.

Chipped in for two of the three twos I have had :) Both 8 irons and both times I called it!

14 birdies in 8 rounds for me but two of our par fives are very short off winter tees and these account for half of the total. But still averaging four under handicap on the shortened course is okay for this time of year.
