So discuss your first ever Birdie and how it felt

I don’t recall my first birdie, but my first eagle was on a par 4. Amount 120 out with a pitching wedge.

Bladed it about mid ball. Cursed. My friend said “it went in!”

I’ve made a hole in one and 6 eagles. 2 of those 7 were misses.

So my lack of skill does not prevent good luck.

It was something I'll never forget. I started playing in high school after spending the summers riding in the cart with my best friend who had been playing for several years. He was always shooting mid 90s and on a quest to break 90. After several months of shooting 110-115, I finally had one of those "breakthrough" rounds where everything felt good and shot a 94.

Our next round out together, I shot a 49 on the front nine to his 45. Hole 18 on our home course was a long Par 5 back uphill towards the clubhouse. I managed to make it on to the back fringe with my third. I ended up draining the 25 footer for my first birdie ever.

It was an unbelievable feeling that no birdie or eagle has ever been able to replicate. And it only got better when we went back to the cart and totalled up the scores: I shot a back nine 40 for an 89. My buddy was pissed lol

3 years ago. Stonebridge in bossier. 1st hole. I typically shoot in the 90s and will have a couple pars and maybe a birdie per round.

This day I couldn’t hit anything good on the range. Figured it would be a really bad round, even for how I play. Got to the 1st tee. Shortish par 4, small dogleg right. There’s a bunker down the right side where, if you can, try and play a fade over it which will give you a perfect approach shot. I lined up dead center of the fairway and let er rip. One of the best drives I hit in my life. Had about 90 in to the green. Knocked my pitching wedge to 5 ft and sank the putt. I was so pumped! Thought it was going to be a great round! Proceeded to make an 8 on 2. It’s a love/hate relationship I have with this game.

#7 at Santa Maria. I fist pumped like Tiger Woods at the 08 Us Open.

Mine was on #3 at Webb in 1958 when I was 10. Don't remember what I hit off the tee but I made a 6 footer with my mother's putter.

First eagle was a chip-in from the back of the green on a par 5 at some course in Houston when I was 15. Still my biggest thrill even though I've had 10 aces.

Like some others, don’t remember first birdie. First and only HIO was incredible. Started the round on 10th hole at Oak Wing and made ace to start the day.

I can’t even remember my first birdie, never had an eagle or a hole in one though. Looking forward to that day eventually

Literally happened last week.

Par 4. Felt great, but I was more impressed with myself that I was able to put 3 quality shots together to get it.

My last birdie was a chip in on number 1 this morning, 354 par 4, not a good drive, put second just off green about 10 yards,. 48 degree pitch and run. Hit pole and sat on noodle.
