Monthly poll: what's the most gross birdies you've ever had in one round?

[Swinger]

8+ ?

OK, who let Jordon Spieth on the forum?

I've had 8 in one round, it was acutally 8 in the first twelve holes and then left a 15ft birdie putt short by an inch on 13 and the spell was broken. Very bizarre round of golf a few years ago which consisted of great shots for tap in birdies, a chip in, a couple of long putts and some really bad shots in between the birdies! First 12 holes went -

Double Bogie
Birdie
Birdie

Then made par on all the remaining holes.
Very strange round.

such rounds certainly stick in the memory very well - my 6 were in the first 11 holes, 4BBB match at the club and we were 1 down standing on the 12th tee.....went on to loose.

in my case it really was a case of the whole match simply escalating everyone's expectations and confidence that produced the results - but we all know we 'can do it' but the results on any day are driven by what we do do instead!

In medal play I have had 5, 2 or 3 times, and none of those rounds have lead to my best rounds.

When playing well I will make mostly pars and less bogeys and birdies. When I'm making birdies I normally throw in a good few bogeys and doubles.

No idea why :-/

Likewise, although I'm working hard at keeping the doubles off the card nowadays!

 

[3565]

7 birdies, 2 on front 9, 5 on back 9.

 

[Deleted member 15717]

I think 3 in a round has been my highest. Shot -1 gross on the front 9, and then couldn't get anything to drop on the back. Frustrating.

 

[Loz1607]

Had 5 twice and four quite a lot. Had 4 birdies in the first 10 holes in a semi final 4bbb last month. That went down well

 

[rickg]

Mine was 5 in a medal, annoyingly accompanied by 5 bogies for my one and only level gross round to date - 29th Sept 2009 (on Howdidido recorded for posterity!)

:thup: Yip,,,,,,, but sadly its easier said than done :angry:

 

[richart]

Three I think from a very long time ago in my memory

Didn't you have more than that when you shot 66 gross ?

Must be looking it up

 

[the smiling assassin]

I'm quite a streaky flair player and the putter occasionally heats up nicely. Had a nice wee run a couple of weeks ago, holing a 5 footer, 15, 15, 10 and 30 on the opening five holes. Sadly only two were birdies.

Best in a round is 7, though I've also had 7 consecutive 3s once starting with four birdies on the trot from the 9th before an eagle sandwich. Lipped out for birdie 3s on the closing 3 holes too from 10, 6 and 4 feet to shoot a tidy 65 (-5). only bogie that day was on the first. That was on quite an easy course mind!

best in a medal is 6, twice. One occasion was the only handicap medal I've won at my current club. Sadly also had two or three doubles that day and finished +2. Shot lower gross rounds and not got near the hcp winner a few times since!

 

[Piece]

5 birdies a few times. Best streak was at Delamere Forest.

 

[Tongo]

3 on the Masters course at Woodlands near Bristol.

Birdied the par 5 7th, par 4 8th and par 4 10th.

Although at the time i didnt know it as the 7th is only 454 yards with no discernible hazards so i assumed it was a par 4. It was only when i was filling out my scorecard that i noticed it was listed as a par 5!

 

[sawtooth]

I birdied the 3rd, 5th, 8th and 13th at Blackmoor last month in the GM meet, probably the most I've ever had in one round.

 

[JustOne]

Most in a round was 8 which was accompanied by 7 bogies for a -1 round

7 birdies with 3 bogies led to my best scoring round ever of -4 (67)

Lipped putts in that round on 16, 17 and 18 so with those missed putts and 3 bogies I left a few out there........

Another memorable round was when I birdied all 4 par 5's at East Sussex National (East course), memorable because I had to hit driver/driver into 3 of them :thup:

 

[LIG]

Had three a few times. Most memorable one was the first time when I was having a mare, and decided to "not try". Result was some of the best putting I'd ever had with six one putts in a row to the 17th from all sorts of distances,


....and a chip in for par at the last!

Earned me the title of "Streakiest Putter" in the society!

 

[srixon 1]

I have had seven in a round a few times, the best one last year when I birdied the last six holes in a row. The other birdie was during the front nine, but I had been playing so bad the six in a row only got me back to level par.

 

[virtuocity]

4 for me, including 3-in-a-row, just the other day.

Easiest three holes on the course, right enough.

Par 5 driver, 8 iron, PW, putt.
Par 4 driver, 9 iron (short), chip in
Par 4 driver, 9 iron (half a foot), tap in

Par 5 driver, 8 iron, GW, putt.

Definitely a convert to laying up very safely on par 5s.

 

[Spear-Chucker]

5 is the best for me which happens a couple of times a year. Had three and two eagles in a round before which was fun (not to mention surprising on an entirely new level) ;-)
