Most birdies in a row

[cjskier]

I played a round today on my home course and hit 9 birdies in a row(mostly A positions). It got me to thinking about how many other birdies in a row other DGCR members have gotten. Up to today the most I ever had gotten was 3, the good old Turkey.

So I ask you DGCR, how many birdies have you gotten in a row(courses with 200' par 4's on the sign dont count)?


BTW I played Truckee river Course, in Truckee CA. Course is still party covered in snow, but I got my best round ever on any course. 10 birds, 2 boogies, including a boogie on hole one, an easy 290'er.

13, split between 2 9 hole rounds though.

4 birdies in a row is my best. I was throwing bad I was at 2 over after 8 holes and just told myself i need to get some birds. Ended neg 3 in the round.

13, split between 2 9 hole rounds though.

I would say that still counts. So long as the rounds were consecutive, and not played one round one day and the second the next day.

 

[Connor Jones]

3.

Probably will get four soon

11,12,13 at my home course,a few times.

From what I have recorded 4 but who knows what it could really be. During one tourney I had a run where i went 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2. Wasn't my best round either :/...

Really it just depends on the courses you play.

 

[E-man]

I don't remember stuff like that, probably because the number isn't that high! I'm going with three. I do remember getting 7 birdies in an 18-hole round though.


The poll is quite spread at the moment. I'd like to hear about the 18+ birds in a row. opcorn:

I'm sure I've had 4 or 5 in a row, but I can't remember exactly. 9 in a row is pretty impressive, but of course, it depends a lot on the course. Where I previously lived I would frequently shoot 7 or 8 or even 9 under. I'm a better player now and I'm usually a lot closer to par on the courses I live near now.

 

[MNcyclone]

Wabun picnic area, shortest course known to man (well, known to the twin cities [other than Moir]). 13 birdies in a row. Really not an accomplishment, its super super short.

For real courses? Probably 8, probably around 10 times I've done it at Acorn park.

 

[Purpleplatypie]

I had five the last week but one of those was an eagle. I think that should count still

 

[sgamerp]

I voted 2 but it could be 3

 

[Martin Dewgarita]

I know I've played some 9 hole courses in places where I've come in -8, my best in competition I've strung together 5 or so, the last tournament I played I started a round +8 after 7 holes, finished +2, strung some birdies together there.

 

[GT Chris]

7 in a row on a short little pitch 'n' putt. It was a tournament round and I started on hole 4 or 5. The birdie run started on hole 10 and was hoping to birdie the entire back 9. I ended up with 8 birdies and a bogey to shoot a 20 for the back. The front was terrible, I was only 4 down.

 

[Smigles]

I am thinking 4 or 5, but I dont remember exactly.

 

[thrembo]

I too don't really keep track of this stat. I'm guessing around 5 though.

 

[nygfaninva]

Four in a row. At Pharoah's Tomb in Va, we have three holes (15, 16 and 17) we locals call the Triple Crown. All birdable, with 17 being the longest and hardest to bird, like the Belmont in the real Triple Crown. I hit the Triple Crown and 14, so it was four in a row. The most in a row in one round for me.

 

[Dthunderchicken]

There's a kiddie course in ALBQ (IIRC Vista Hills). If you're not throwing birds on every hole, you need more practice. For me 3 on a real course.

 

[mashnut]

12 between two 9 hole rounds, the last 8 were in the second round where I parred 9 and ended up -8.

 

[chrishysell]

Play for 18 years and try to remember something like that.

I shot -19 once but had an ace on the 7th hole.

In a PDGA event I once shot a 38 with a par, an ace and a bogey.

For me a good deuce streak may get interrupted with an ace.

 

[gkeberhart]

15 is my number but that is on a deuce or die course where everything is an open field and no more than a putter off the tee usually. On a regular course it is probably 5 or 6
