Jbmullin 782 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I have a couple feet of snow on the ground still but its warming up, hopefully 4-6 weeks away from some actual golf. I am way late to this but I intend on challenging myself to this as well. There are 2 holes on my home course that if I par either it would be like a birdie or better to me.

Bucky CC 2,822 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Golf courses in Wisconsin opened 6 days ago. I played in a scramble on Saturday but today is my first real round. If the scramble is any indication of my current game I may be waiting another few weeks to post a birdie.

golfinnut 1,122 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 This is a good one! I like the "Birdie Every Hole" Challenge the best. I think Par would be achieved much too quick to be a fun test. My "home" course if you will (well the one I play the most often) is Shenandoah Valley CC. This course has 3 nines ... Blue, White, & Red nine. For this exercise, we will assume I am playing the Blue/White 18 holes combination. This course is not very long, depending on which combination of nines you play, it can range from 6100 to 6400 yards or so from the back set of tees. It's main defense are the fairly large greens, long rough & trees off the fairways. Blue/White is a par 7, 6371 yards .... only 3 par 3's & 3 par 5's. Blue nine starts off & ends with par 5's ... so these are really good chances for a birdie right off the bat ... just 546 & 487 yards from the back tees, respectively, with no real trouble unless you're off the fairway. I have eagled both of those in the past. #2 is a long par 3, downhill .... this would be a hard birdie most of the time because you have to hit it close or get lucky with a long putt. It's a huge green. But I hit it to a foot last week for a birdie ... so knock that one off the list. LOL #3 thru #5 are going to be tough birdies because, like a lot of the holes here, you have to hit it close on your approaches to really have a chance at birdie. These are some really tough greens to not 3-putt because of their immense size. White 9 is straight forward ... just over 3,000 yards from the back. #9 par 5 should be an easy birdie if you're hitting the ball well. But it's usually my last hole & I'm always tired by then so it becomes difficult to birdie sometimes. #3 is a 190 yard long, uphill shot so it plays longer than the card says most days. It needs to be an accurate shot to have any chance. #4 & #5 main defense are small, severely sloped greens, from left to right ... if you're not on the right side, you may have a hard time with Par, let alone Birdie. #6 & #7 are definite birdie holes as long as you come off the tee box with no issues. #8 par 3 of 188 yards is going to be tough. Very small green from front to back, so it takes precision to get it close. There are some definite birdie holes on this course I can already cross off the list from my round last week. But there are some that may take me awhile to birdie. It's going to be a fun challenge nonetheless. 1 Quote WITB: Do I like Titleist or what?

I've birdied the 2 hardest holes on the course this year already! This should be fun. Will be trying for BEHEP5WYHtE, although 1 par 5 is almost impossible to eagle. 155 rounds with Arccos at my home club, 95% from white tee. Numbers below. Will struggle to eagle # 3 even though it is 408 yards long. If you can get it 200 yards off the tee it leaves you in the 250 range. Just a goofy par 5. 2, 4 & 14 are the hard birdies. I have already birdie 4 & 14 so check those off. Is that report on top pulled from Arccos?

Bucky CC 2,822 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I've played two rounds this year and had a total of six birdies. Luckily all 6 of them have come on different holes so I'm alread 33% done with the challenge. I have a sinking feeling that I'm going to get up to 14 or 15 pretty quickly and then get stuck on those last few holes. 1 Quote Driver: F9 10.5°, Fujikura Ventus Blue 6X Fairway Wood: F9, Fujikura ATMOS TS Black 7X 3 Hybrid: F9, N.S.
