How many gross birdies have you had in a row?

[CMAC]

Lighthearted Sunday morning question......

The best I did was when as a teenager I birdied 3 in a row, all shortish par 4's, since then when I get 2 in a row (rare now ) I probably try too hard and blob the next.

Any good stories of long runs or so near yet so far?

Back to back birdies? Stuff dreams are made of. While i'm walking off the green after a birdie, rather than reflect on all the positives from the hole, my mind is already on the next tee and i'm knocking in an 8 or 9 footer for birdie on the next.

.....cue a slap off the tee out of bounds, a couple of duffs up the fairway, three putting and penciling in a big number on the scorecard.

Always back to Earth with a bang, unforunately.

Four. On our 8th to 11th (Par 4, 5, 3, 4). Just missed from 15 feet on 12 too :-(

 

[Wayman]

best ive had is 4 in a row

 

[jasondransfieldgolf]

9 is my best holes 8 through 16 done 8 and 7 in a row too. Best start to a round was opening with 5 birdies and once managed 6 birdies in a row followed up by an eagle, so 8 under for 7 holes.

 

[Dodger]

5 from 14 in.

I also had one at 11 and 12 that day to come back in 3 under 33!

Thats just showing off!

Not sure it's worth anyone else posting after that!!!

I think it's 3 for me, I normally get a bit excited after that and go bombing the putt 6' past and missing the comeback to put the handbrake firmly back on.

4 for me I think.
Shortish par 5, short par 4, medium par 3, long par 4

Very satisfying as it produced a healthy ut from an otherwise ordinary card.

Depends which nightclub you go to.

outstanding Jason, mind sharing your mindset after getting 2 in a row? ie are you thinking play safe or attack more, whats the gameplan when you start with 5 in a row?

one day maybe

4 for me.

 

[Essex_Stu]

2 for me. Short 130 yard par 3, 10 foot downhill putt and then a dogleg par 5(Driver, hybrid, miss eagle putt by 12 inches, tap in for birdie)

 

[Hobbit]

5 on the bounce a few times. Once had 4 followed by an eagle. Best in a round is 7.

 

[Smiffy]

One for me....


Tell a lie. I had 3 in 4 holes playing in Spain once. Two on the trot, missed the next by a whisker and then birdied the next.
Would have been a nice little run.

 

[algar5]

5 for me 10th to 14th at my place. Par 5 and 2 driveable Par 4's so certainly the easiest stretch to get a birdie run going.

 

[brendy]

5 in a row (6 in the front nine) for me, had some stonking runs (some pathetic ones too) but this one sticks out for me. This one was last year.

 

[fundy]

5 for me, can also claim back to back eagles

 

[FG_HOOR]

i think i have only ever managed 3 in a row i think it was holes 4 5 6 at my place which is scotscraig. when i played kingsbarns i birdied 3 8 9 in 9 holes

 

[CMAC]

based on the many answers I feel I need to step my game up (or get a new putter), some of you have been well under par on the front 9 alone.
My lowest round is -5 at La Cala (followed by -3 and -2) but still only 2 birdies in a row.
