My best birdie...

[DexterHawk]

Now I don't want to take anything away from an ace, but sometimes the most satisfying things are great birdies... Marking each hole of your local course, getting a birdie on a hole that you thought you never could get...

So tell us about it...

What is your best birdie?

Lately?

Ever?

What hole is just too tough?

I start this subject because today I got a birdie that felt better than an ace...
Hole #6 at Dexter is a monster... long, tight, low and well defended. I threw a pretty decent roller... but a little right... than canned a 80 or 90 fotter a little down hill to get the birdie (the basket was in the right hand position for you in the know)

The only placement at Dexter that I haven't birdied now is 18 long. :rockon:

[zippyboy]

Gotta be hole #5 at Trojan for me. 575 feet +/- wide open fairway, but the basket is tucked off to the right, past the end of a long line of blackberries, trees, seasonal creek/drainage ditch, etc. Had a decent (for me) drive off the tee - maybe 300 feet or so. Blind to the basket, managed to sink the birdie with an Avenger SS (the same disc that I finally got my first ace with out at the Mud). I didn't get to see the shot go in, but fellow 'Nation member, Dan, got to see the whole thing. That one was awesome. I still can't par that hole all that often...

All that being said, that same hole has been birdied by another member of the 'Nation since then. Who could that be? :whistler:

[Ol' Bob]

If a hole is all but impossible to ace, then what's a birdie on that hole but the best that can be done? The two that's usually a four saves the same number of strokes as anythng you can ace.

[Adam Schneider]

I had a good one today: #11 at Ewing Young. I threw a tomahawk as usual, just to the left of the big wooden pole... and my Firebird came hurtling straight down and smashed onto the top of the basket. All the chains rattled, and I was hoping for a miracle bounce for an ace. But still a fun birdie.

[Scott]

But in this case, a birde would be tougher because it likely required TWO great shots instead of one.

[Bruce]

So my best "birdie" or eagle, depending on what you call the part at hole 1 at McIver these days, came this last Monday. I was playing with Pitser, Mike Best, and Dustin as usually. I threw a nice gently 400 foot hyzer to get me on the left side of the fairway with my Boss. Then threw a nice sweeping hyzer around the right side of the pine on the top of the hill. I ended up maybe 25 feet from the basket, dead straight put to walk out with the 3. I've done it before, but never as planned and clean as this one. It felt pretty damn great.

[DexterHawk]

I've done that too, and that's what I'm talking about... it is so much cooler to use two or even three great shots to achieve a hole than just one lucky one...

["Over the Hill" Bob]

Just think of how excited I am to use 6 or 7 great shots instead of one. :yay:

Holey moley, that means u birdied #6 in the straight long behind the fortress of trees before u birded the right hand placement? That's super cool.. Hole #7 in the long position is a pretty tough birdie for those who dont have the power to air it out over the first 300 feet worth of trees, dang...
I would have to say my best birdie would be.... so many of them, but sounds so easy if it compares to dexter holes heh. #17 west at milo, #7 East (par 4), #9 East (par 4), #16 East (par 4)... hmmm thinking hard here... #7 long at Whistler's Bend, #17 long Whistler's bend... ahh back to work... will think of some more...

[overstable, underthrown]

My best birdie ever happened during the 3rd round at the Eugene celebration 2008. I was trying to get close with rollers on hole #18. 1st round, rolled uphill and into the parking lot OB. :headbang: 2nd round threw another roller with next-step more stable disc and got pretty close (maybe 100 ft.) but missed that shot. 3rd round, I threw same disc but got more on it, and it used the slope perfectly, stood up for a long time, picked up speed, and curled uphill at the end, stopping about 60 ft away on the downhill side--nearly pin length. Hit that putt for birdie (with a few witnesses) and my highlight of that tournament for sure!! :biggrin2:

[TreeLove]

Gotta be hole #5 at Trojan for me. ... that same hole has been birdied by another member of the 'Nation since then. Who could that be? :whistler:

JLewis! JLewis! JLewis! JLewis! JLewis! I was there - he did it with the TRACKER!

Bonus Point: which member of LeftyNation has also deuced this hole?

[proto something or other]

[Adam Schneider]

Today I birdied #4 at Adair (downhill next to the model airplane field), in the long position.

The rest of the round did not go so well...

[snap7times]

Niceeee, that's a hole i always think i can birdie if I can just get my shot far and higher so that it fades more into the woods, always end up throwing a shot so hard it annys my xcaliber...
as for adair, my best birdie is #8 in the long. Missed 30 foot putt for par on #18 long during WOX :bricks:
Anyone ever duece adair #18 in the long?

[Nate Sexton]

I have deuced #18 long at Adair once, I drove it about 50 feet across the path on the left side of the fairway and then threw a sidearm starfire in from there, probably about 300ft out. I also once rolled #18 short to the edge of the circle (675ft+) but I missed the putt a little high :shocked: so I have never 2'd that one.

As for other good birdies, I had a nice 3p on a par 4 in Japan last year. The hole was slightly uphill about 500 feet with a sandtrap about 10 feet short of the basket. I got a pretty big roller off with a 150 eagle and it went into the trap, then I nailed the 45-50 footer from the short side of the sand.

During one of my best rounds at Willamette park I parred hole #1 and then 2'd holes 2-14, the highlight being hole 3 as it is clearly the hardest of that bunch, It was the most 2's I've ever had in a row.

I guess the term BAGGER doesn't fit here does it? :laughing: Good work Nate!

I deuced #5 at Hornings (long course) at the first Slosh event both rounds. Pretty darn good for ME. Then a week later playing a casual round there deuced #5,6,7 consecutively. If you know my game you will know that has to be a highlight for me. :yay:

[Bullseye]

At long last, I eclipsed my previously best birdie (a tap in 3 on Hole 1 of 27 at Milo), by finally getting a 4 on Hole 23 of 27 in the long position. I've gotten a few 4s in the short (sic) position, and I've even had a glimmer of hope for the four in the long before... but I failed to make the 40 ft putt.

This time things went a little differently. I got a great drive with a Boss through the gap and got a good fade toward the road and came to a stop lined up just right with the gap between the trees. My second shot with a beat up Pro Destroyer hit the gap just right, flipped into a sweet anhyzer glide down the channel toward the short position and carried all the way til it had no more speed left. My next drive with a beat up Star Max was low and fast and it hit the tunnel just right and skipped up to within about 25 feet of the basket. This time... I cashed that damned putt.

PS: THAT, my friends, is why I go to MILO WORK PARTIES. Karma cannot be purchased... it must be EARNED. ;)

A very disturbing avatar about falling down stairs!:biggrin2:

And while the deuce on hole 2 at Trojan was very sweet (and relatively recent) it can't top the $168 ace at Daliwood ON hole 3 that shoots over the Llama pen that gave the course the name. What year was that 2002? Seems like a lifetime ago.:pirate:

[dan]

I had my best birdie in a long time, today. Hole 1 at Rooster West. My drive was mediocre (it was really windy), but my "putt" was awesome. 90% power with a Roc, that faded right into the strong side of the chains. Made my day. The rest of the round was... forgettable. :chug:

[Magilla]

Masters Cup last year...1st Round ... Hole 13 or I-5 for those who know the course.

Threw in my 2nd shot Thumber for the ONLY 2 ever carded in Tournament Play on that Hole.:dancing::dancing::dancing:

I had to bring this thread back from the dead because I got three sweet birdies today at the Bend. The first was our first hole of the day I took a 4 on it from the pro pad which was awesome. I also got hole 16 in the long :rockon: Then I took a 4 on the Genius hole. Pretty good for me, I was stoked! :dancing::dancing::jumpspin::jumpspin: :rockon: (about those holes :rolleyes2::laughing:)

[Sam]

Saw that bird on 1, Pat. Should have had the same and will remember to putt before I actually start playing from now on.
I got 26 (normally the stump hole - now tucked deep right) in 3 from the long pad to force a tie for the day with Stern. There was little else remarkable about my play today, really. :laughing:

Which #16?
And that brings up another topic, Hole #6W or original #1 was changed to a Par 4 last year for the BSF, which I disagreed with, so based on the casual play, that was a birdie, based on BSF 2008, that was par, wonder if Flash will chime in on this and tell us if its going back to par 5 or staying a brutal par 4?

My best birds at Milo have been at 7E, parked 2nd shot for under 10 foot putt. 25 footer for 3 on 9E aka, the genius. Keep missing the bird opps on the super long 14E...

[Bruce]

Does par even really matter that much, in all honesty? I mean yeah it helps the ego but most of or casual rounds out there we call EVERYTHING a par 3, it simplifies things and sure it might hurt the go to shoot a 10 over but in tournament play you are comparing your score to the other people you play with, so par essentially can be anything and it won't change the outcome... Just my two cents.

[KenGilmore]

I went 4-2-2 on holes 1-3 at Milo on Saturday, with hole 2 in the long. I'm pretty sure I've never done that before.

This is a debate that i think might linger on this here interweb forum for all eternity, I'll throw in my opinion. Par matters for some people therefor why not keep non-par 3 pars, courses are getting longer every year with larger parks being used for making disc golf courses. I personally have no problem keeping Milo's two par 5's and five par 4's in my head while scoring. Besides if you nabbed a 4 on the 1100 foot monster out at Milo would you want to post it here a rightfully earned birdie, or think "darn, I got a bogey," as a par 3?

Call it a four on that hole. It's impressive. It doesn't need the birdie label to make it so.

[Bruce]

And Ken that is an awesome start at Milo, I went out yesterday for a few quick holes before the Mother's day festivities began and started 3,2,2. It was a great feeling.

[jevon]

Call it a four on that hole. It's impressive. It doesn't need the birdie label to make it so.

What if you are talking to someone who doesn't know that hole or that course? Someone across the country who has never been to Milo and recognizes that not all holes are par 3's, or someone that only counts par as 3? Wasn't there some debate about the record at Horning's Canyon course due to this issue? If people continue to call every single hole a par 3, when the designers have it listed as something else, or visa versa, it only leads to confusion.

[Sam]

Pffft... I think they are both legitimate par 5s. I believe hole 6w (1 of 27) was changed to a par 4 to keep the course par at 60 when 7w should also be a legitimate 4. What is wrong with par at 61, I could never quite figure out.

[Pizzel]

I understood that par in DG was based on what a 1000 rated player would average on a particular hole. If this is the case I would think the par should be 4. Most 1000 rated players should be able to play the hole for an easy 4 with a chance at 3.

[E-ROC]

A couple of months ago I was playing pier and I was with Erika while she walked the dog. It was pretty late and very dark. I love playing pier in the pitch black for some reason. I threw a drive on 15 that hit a tree about 30 feet shy and slightly to the right of the short placement. I left my lie and walked up to the basket to visualize my line. My only good option was a thumber and it took what seemed like a eternity to hear any sort of sound, until I heard the crash.

Erika was up there first and told me it had stuck. That has been the only time I birdied that hole to date.

I did also get a nice bird on 14 a couple of weeks ago while playing a bag tag match with Mike Ward. Straight up the middle around the two gaurd trees to the left and had it skip under the big bushy tree just left of the long basket pin high, nailed the 30 footer.

[Greg_R]

I think they are both legitimate par 5s. I believe hole 6w (1 of 27) was changed to a par 4 to keep the course par at 60 when 7w should also be a legitimate 4. What is wrong with par at 61, I could never quite figure out.Par was determined based on pro scoring averages from the BSF.

My best Birdie was #12 at Adair during a tournament. Horrible 1st drive and then hit chains on a long uphill skip w. my Firebird.

[gwillim]

Pffft... I think they are both legitimate par 5s. I believe hole 6w (1 of 27) was changed to a par 4 to keep the course par at 60 when 7w should also be a legitimate 4. What is wrong with par at 61, I could never quite figure out.

Hole 23 is definitely a par 5, in either position. <boast> I've scored 4 4s in the long this year, three were drop-ins, and one was all air shots as well! </boast>Before this year, I don't think I ever got better than a 6 when it was in the long.

As for Hole 1, I could go either way on that one. I like it being a 5 because it makes my front nine not seem as though I shot too poorly (front nine is always my worst!). However, to take a five on that, I pretty much have to make two mistakes. If I can make two mistakes and still par, I think the hole is a little too easy, or the par might be set wrong. In my opinion, it's right on the border, it's an easy par five, or a tough par 4. I think the MPO division should treat the hole as a par 4 and other divisions are probably going to want to look at it as a par 5. I've never gotten a three on the hole, I've had a couple of 50 footers for three, but I've missed them. I'm determined to be the first southpaw to 3 it though!

BSF West Hole 7, when moved back, is a par 4. Not a difficult one, especially if you play it with course management in mind, but still a four.

___________________

I've had quite a few good birdies over the last couple of weeks. I birdied the peninsula hole at Trojan with a Roc, that was fun. I birdied hole 8 at Pier with a Roc last week, that was pretty bitchin. I birdied my "Nemesis Hole" at Milo, hole #6, on Saturday with a forehand shot, put it about 20' from the pin, that was probably the most exciting shot for me in a long time. I'm really bad at forehand shots, and I normally have to struggle for a par on that hole.

Oh, and playing Milo with Flash last week we both consecutively birdied hole #9 (off stoner mountain down to the water). I've never seen two players birdie that hole back-to-back before, and the fact that it was one lefty and one righty made it pretty awesome.

[snap7times]

That makes no sense, sorry buddy, what about the holes that get bird'd more than half the time, should we change that to a par 2? And I've watched more than my share of Pros on that hole - 6W/#1 out of 27, there are a few that get their sights on a 3 but from like 25-75 feet, there is rarely ever anything under 25 for a 3. Most get the easy 4 or 5 yes, but that's the same thing as ball golf. Par 5, there are way more eagles on a par 5 in Golf than there are in Disc Golf, why prevent the chances at an Eagle? #1 is a tough hole for those who don't have awesome power and control and to string together 3 great shots to get a putt for a par 4, that sucks dog... I want birdie 4!

7W is a good example, it is 100 times easier to get a par 4 on this hole than #1/#6W, birdie 3's are wayyyyyyy easier as well, heck 2's even happen on this hole, why make it a par 4 when I know more than half the Pro field get a 3 on this hole? HMMM HMMM?

[KenGilmore]

And Ken that is an awesome start at Milo, I went out yesterday for a few quick holes before the Mother's day festivities began and started 3,2,2. It was a great feeling.
Wow, 3-2-2 is a smoking start. My 2nd shot on hole 1 went into the middle of that little tree near the crest of the hill which prevented the look at 3.

Nonetheless, I can't imagine seeing many deuces on the 2nd hole in the long position. What route do you take?

I tried the forehand roller up the skinny gap and then hit a long, straddle jump putt from right by the short position.

[gwillim]

I birdied it on Friday with a lefty hyzer. Took a really, really flippy driver up the left path, gave it moderate power and lots of hyzer, it slowly flipped up to flat and then contacted the ground around the short placement. Plus 25 foot skip and I had a 25' putt.

I really like seeing people throw the tight gap, it actually works quite often. Bart told me he almost aced it that way a few days ago!

[rustynail]

I got a bird at HH Canyon course #12. Tough shot through the trees with the man made wall to the right. Drove it 3 ft from the basket. I couldn't believe it when I walked up! Won CTP at Brennen Jones open Intermediate Division. I'll be back next year for the event. It was my first event and I had a blast. I'll be back next year. Looking forward to the 3rd course being completed!

2's on 7W long? Have you seen the hole? You are NOT going to see a lot of those, if any. The drive will have been extremely risky even for a top-level pro, and then they will still have to can a big putt.

I would like to propose that no one be allowed to post anything about any hole at Milo without hyperlinking to an aerial view and a teepad photograph so we can tell which hole is being referred to. Hole numbers just don't so it for me any more. I never know if they're:

old 27-hole layout numbering system
new 27-hole layout numbering system
18+9 park's layout numbering system
18+18 BSF tournament's layout numbering system

Maybe if we just named the holes:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z ! @ # $ % ^ & * ~
it would make more sense.

Just funnin' - I love all the efforts being put in at Milo - THANK YOU Volunteers, State Parks, BSF Sponsors, PDGA, players & staff - I AM STOKED!

A two in the short position is possible, but would take a huge throw, followed by a rather large putt. I've had putts for two at it, but I was still about 60 feet short. Even then, most of the times I have tried to get it there, I've thrown OB.

As for the long position, there is not a top-level pro in the world that would be stupid enough to try and park that with OB left, right and behind the basket. How far is it anyhow? I can't conceive anyone being able to put it within 50' by throwing a "golf shot", not to mention being in-bounds.

Okay, I was trying to make a point but guess I didn't try hard enough... Hole 6W has been changed to a par 4 because too many pros birdie this in 4 when its a par 5 while birdie 3's almost never happen and are incredibly rare. I was just trying to show that this logic makes no sense when applying it to hole 7W because most of the Pros will 3 this hole and a 2 has been done before, I was only 2 holes away when Gregg Barsby did it last year. I myself have parked the long position on 7W for a drop in 3 and felt awesome about it, but was disapointed that I will probably never have a chance at a birdie 3 on 6W which is incredibly rare, same for a 2 on 7W. Just tryin to justify my argument to make 6W a par 5 instead of a 4 because how many Pros, let alone anyone else will birdie this hole in 3? Maybe the same amount of people that could Eagle 2 hole 7W; or even better, since most pros will 3 hole 7W, make it a par 3!?.... Before I ramble on some more, would like to see the stats of hole score breakdown on 6W and 7W from 2008 BSF to prove my point heh.
And I'm just offering good discussion here, no emotions involved... nor are there any wrong answers...

Okay, I was trying to make a point but guess I didn't try hard enough... Hole 6W has been changed to a par 4 because too many pros birdie this in 4 when its a par 5 while birdie 3's almost never happen and are incredibly rare. I was just trying to show that this logic makes no sense when applying it to hole 7W because most of the Pros will 3 this hole and a 2 has been done before, I was only 2 holes away when Gregg Barsby did it last year.

1) I have played with many, many, many, many.......pros who have scored a 3 on 6W. In fact, my winnie arm has led to a 3 on 6W.

2) Barsby's 2 on 7W was nothing but "fairway slop". He was at least 170 ft. out and got some help from a few tree branches......would have been OB had he not stuck it in the chains.

Your weinie arm got a 3? If you call 350-400 ft drives weinie, gosh I would hate to see you pumping steriods like Manny and being able to throw 500-600... I would be happy to get my 2nd shot near the big tree in the center of the fairway up the hill let alone have my 2nd shot land less than 75 feet from the basket.
Alot of aces are slop as well but we call them aces ;)
Also another question i wanted to present is, why is it so bad to have an eagle opportunity here and there like in ball golf?
Also as someone mentioned earlier, they could make 2 mistakes and still get a 5, I call BS on that for hole 6W... :whistler::yay:

[KenGilmore]

Pay attention! Jason does not have a wienie arm, he has a winnie arm. There is a difference: one can't throw far, the other is experiencing the Wonder Years.

PS - Jason likes a little privacy when he is experiencing the Wonder Years.

[KenGilmore]

...was nothing but "fairway slop".
Ha, reminds me of winnie arms.

[NWDiscer]

Milo today i watched Mr. Bruce throw his drive threw the early right hand window on hole #15 of the 27 layout i think it is...the normal turnover into the trees with the huge tree right by the basket well it is in the B placement up top and he crushes a Boss on an anny line thru the gap 60'+ high all of 20' wide....... i know most of us never never even look at this window as it is not a normal human throw.....:shocked: next time your at The Bend you know the hole it leads to the short tech.holes

i heard rumor that Avery threw a Roc at this same window a few years ago and parked it......Bruce was 20' past the basket just off the chips made his 2.........:cheers: I wonder just how close he came to an Ace....would have been SWEET to watch it come in over the tree tops.


1 of the SICKEST 2's i have seen.

Oh Snap you play so rough for someone who has no evidence to support his claim.
I have statistical data for 4 years that shows that 6W is a par 4, now it is a difficult par 4 and plays the 3 hardest hole on that side but it is a par 4 end of story. The par on the courses is for a 1000 rated golfer, and is a little weak at that, the SSA for the West course is a 57.XX while the par is 60!

Hole 7W is a par 4 and so is 6W, and both have had 2's scored on them in tournament play, now go wrap your mind around a two on hole 6 W!

I don't have a best birdie, I am delighted to just get birdies!!!!!

[Greg_R]

2's on 7W long? Have you seen the hole? You are NOT going to see a lot of those, if any. 7W used to be an easy 3 with very little scoring separation for the pro division. The basket was moved back to make it a harder 3 (since 2s were so rare, even in the short position). This resulted in a better separation (your drive needs placement, otherwise you have to get around the guardian trees).

6W is definitely a 4. If the basket were back further in the woods toward the left it might become a 5 (due to OB road and dense woods). However, I think the current placement results in some nice scoring separation for the pro division (where the deeper placement may result in a lot of 4s).

[jevon]

Got my best birdie last night at Pier hole 9. After getting a double on 8 and telling myself the only shot that matters is the next one, I step up to the box and unleash a high anny. Didn't hit any trees but left it real short. So I tell myself again that the only shot that matters is the next one and pull out my putter. Nailed it from ~108 feet! Followed up with an awesome anny and a 10 foot birdie on 10. Never had back to back birds at Pier before.

That's what I wanted to hear, however, the logic to apply 6w as a par 4 is not the same logic to apply a par 4 to 7w. So my question is, what is the logic behind 7w being a par 4?
What I mean is, the logic to change 6w from par 5 to 4 was that a 1000 rated dg'er would par 6w in 4, which makes sense yes...
however, a 1000 rated dg'er would par 7w in 3? yet it is a par 4? So what is the logic for that hole?
I'm just discussing, and I whole heartingly support whatever Par system is decided on, I will try to kill it either way during my rounds... I just like to hear some good brainfarts... and flash, i did ASK for evidence, which you presented, just asking for more on 7w now hehe...

and backkkk to the topic on hand... best birdies... not impressive but for playing blind at DeLaVeaga for AMS masters cup weekend... I birdied holes 3, 17, 21.... The rest, gosh I was just happy to par or bogey... especially the famous i-5, saved bogey... whew..

[DrEnigma]

Today--hole 15 at White River (300 ft. long; 8ft. high hill in the middle of the fairway--tee and basket in the valleys). I have just started to use a walk-up on my drives, and I really ripped this one: I over-shot the basket by about 30 ft., for a drive of about 330. I've been working a lot on my putting as well, and put in the 30 footer (Up until this week 15-20 footers had given me trouble) with ease. Definitely the best birdie I have ever had, in terms of the difficulty of the hole, and in terms of how it made me feel.

6W plays as a tough par 4 or a very easy par 5, while it could be a 5 we choose to go with a par 4 due to the historical scoring, while 7 can play as an easy par 4, 7W has so much trouble that is can go either way. In the short position 7W plays as a 3.5 but in the long it averages a 4. So if the weather is not cooperating or if the wind picks up 7W plays tough, if the weather plays ball and the wind is not around that hole can play easy. The two holes are border line calls and we choose to make them both par 4's. 6W is a tough to get a 2 on but not to get a three, so as a par 4 it make an eagle a real challenge, as where as a par 5 it would happen too frequently. 7W is a virtual luck shot to get a 2 due to the protection of the trees around the basket but it has been done before but not very likely again. But if we were to make it a hard par 3 it would almost never see a birdie and most likely it would see more 4's and 5's based on the average. So making 7W a par 3 is not realistic to encourage a fair score spread. As a par 4 people go for the second shot to get that three and sometimes end up a little long. Now all that hole needs is a really fast green for the skips and we would be see the difficulty go up a bit.

Its one thing to throw the hole a few times and dismiss it as easy but in Tournament play that in bounds area can feel small. Sure the top pro's may crush their drives and get a clean hyzer around the corner for an easy putt but not all of them manage that hole so well. That hole for the guidelines of the PDGA course designs falls into a par 4 due to distance and the hazards.

Heh, I love getting good answers... that was great... I look forward to fun times at BSF...

[SMOKIN JOE]

my most memerable birdie would be hole #14 of the 1994 Lightning Open
whistlers has been very very good to me
hole #14 if I recall would have had a tee box near teepad 12 and back to the trees in between two big trees to a basket almost on the road by the ditch
my drive hit one of the first two trees and rolled back behind the tee area and left so I barely had a shot to split the trees on my second shot
had an awkard stance and after throwing I fell forward and rolled and looked up just in time to see it float into the chains
these were the days when you didn't prepay into an ace pot,if someone got an ace you gave them a dollar or two or five a beer,bud ,whatever
when it when in everybody started yelling ,even people on other holes,because unless you were in my group you didn't realise that was my second shot
it also propelled me to a 12 stroke victory and a very nice Lightning trophy
I also kicked some ass in the glow round that night as well
I ended up with over 100.00 bones and a few treats not bad for a birdie:cool2:

[Go Beavs]

I only started playing last year, but played my best game ever towards the end of last summer. While playing Adair with a couple friends, I hit the tree on hole #10 that slants across the fairway. It skidded to a stop probably 90-100 feet from the basket and behind the group of trees that surrounds the basket. Frustrated, I picked-up my mid-range and not being able to see the basket from behind the trees, I hucked it in the general direction. Don't ask me to repeat the shot(because it would probably take a lifetime :wink2:), but it somehow snaked around the trees a floated in!

Same day on hole #13, I screwed-up on my drive and it landed way-off course towards the pad for hole #18. Frustrated again, I again picked-up my trusty Shark and floated it around the maple tree and in the basket from about 120' out. Now these shots may not sound like much to experienced players, but as of now, these are the best memories I have. :rockon:

[Sam]

Yeah... those 90-100 and 120 foot shots are cake for me, now. I barely even think about them. :whistler:

Walked up to hole 10 at Highbridge [390'] and the pair of home-schools that I have been following for three holes finally let me play through. I was getting a little miffed after trying to patiently wait through their bad drives, missed putts and general discourtesy, so I just drop my bag, grab my DX Destroyer and rip the crap out of it. Bitchin' drive that just hauls ass at eye-level and turned over the slightest amount so that it fades and dives at the same time to scoot up flat on the ground another 40' and stop five feet from the basket (my longest drive yet). One kid never said a word and the other one was like, "Damn........holy crap....nice throw, dude". I just muttered, "thanks..." and grabbed my bag and marched off.

I've deuced that same hole since then in a similar manner, but with a Star SL, and without the yokels.

[Brody Cannon]

Over the weekend I birdied (3) 6W of the BSF layout or hole 1 of the 27 hole layout at Milo twice! Both putts were inside 10 ft! Dang, it feels good to have drop-in 3s on 850 ft holes!

I got my best birdie during a practice round the Wednesday before the fling last week. I birdied 1 west of the BSF layout 460 ft par 4. Hit the bird with about a 100 ft forehand approach shot. I was with my friends Nichola and Hat, and it was awesome to share that with them. :yay:

WTH are you playing ADV for sandbagger?? I was happy to get my 3rd shot within 10 feet during the tournament!

ANyways, by best bird during BSF would be parking my 2nd shot about 12 feet from basket on 2W during the 3rd round. My first round tee shot ended up near the bottom of the hill and a 4 was easy peasy japaneasy with a shot at 3, but my drive went short left and i was in the gutter... so the 3rd round 3 on this was sweet...

Not a birdie but still nice for most of us at our level... parked the upshot on 8W in front of the FRY's and right after Barsby came up to me after my upshot on 7W and said finish it strong bro! And I did! nice! Good to get motivation from the top pros once in a while, shows they care just as much as we do...

[Darr]

I birdied #7 and #11 today at Trojan with my Leopard. #7 thirty foot putt, #11 dead nuts down the middle for the drop in. TOOT! TOOT! :rockon::rockon::rockon::chug::chug::posting:

[jevon]

Not sure I can count it as "my best birdie" since I forgot about it until today, but I birdied 3W at Milo last Saturday. Perfect anny with a beat up DX Teebird down the left side. Drop in bird.

That 36 hole layout tore me up. 78 on the east and 77 on the west.

[The_tautermerizor]

My best birdie, years ago at Riverfront Park in Roseburg. Hole #14, I think. There are two trees 20 ft. infront of the tee pad. The basket is <300 ft. I Hit one of the trees right infront of the pad and my disc goes into the blackberry bushes to the right. I threw a backhanded anhyzer with my back to the fairway, from the blackberry bushes, and got it in in 2. It must have been a 230+ ft. birdie. I didn't even see the flight path I was so deep in the blackberries. :shooting:

Whistler's in 94'. Man I didn't even know that course existed then, let alone had any baskets. Was it set up for a tourny only?
BTW-nice birdie. Deep ones are just as awsome as aces. Especially when you factor in the akward position you somtimes find yourself in:cheers:

[Bruce]

Odd, edited this post because it was double posted, but the original post is now gone...

So I'll write it all again! But shorter.

Went to McIver today, birdied the hole before the big par 5 with a couple of newer players. Then stepped up to the par 5, threw a big roller 100 past the octopus looking tree in the center, then threw another roller that hit and stopped by the basket. Yes it was in the short position but that's still a 1000 something feet, for a drop in 3.

[Ol' Bob]

Thank you frozen ground...

Too bad, that will get you an asterisk.

[Joshua Olmsted]

I don't know if this my absolute best birdie of all time but the Saturday before last over the Thanksgiving holiday i was playing an afternoon round out at Pier just with my dad. I was having a tough round struggling to get any birdies with the course fairly approachable. Hole 14 I throw my usual turnover shot to the left side gap, I over flipped the shot and left it beside the bushy tree on the right side of the fair way after all the main trees. I had been struggling with my turnover putter shot and I had about 180' to the long pin, so I decided on a fluke to huck a forehand with my surge. (180' is pretty long for me on my forehand) Threw it on a fairly steep hyzer and it stuck in the back of the cage. First time getting the long position on 14 and only my 2nd birdie ever on what is easily my highest scoring hole at Pier.

[Parks]

I just recently got #3 at High Bridge. Sunk a 40-50 foot putt for it.

It's probably my best birdie yet, though I'm equally proud that I've hit #5 at Downriver a couple times.

[Will of Doom]

Best Birdie of all time for me has to be hole 17 at pier during the RCO this year. 477 ft hole. Crushed it with my pro destroyer and sunk a 20ft putt for the bird. :yay:

[RonTheWhip]

This last weekend at Stiely I had three 500' deuces.

#14 on the SE course. I threw it past the OB lines to about 40' on the left side near the tree limbs, then from a knee I sank the putt to take a three stroke lead over Chandler who took a five on that hole. I almost birdied the next hole, which would have been cool to go back to back on those two.

During the first round of the doubles I put a full drive to about 30' on hole #7 of Rideouts challenge layout (Hole #8 SE tee to SE #13 basket) and drilled the putt. During the next round I putt it to about 4' and Nate tapped in for a birdie. Kyle also parked that hole and Chandler converted the high pressure 20' putt.

I've had some other great birdies this year as well. But perhaps my best birdie acheivement came at USDGC this year in the first round. I birdied every par 3 on the course, for a record 7 deuces in one round :)

[catalystdg]

my most memorable putt was a 30 footer off a knee through a 1.5-2 foot window on the last hole of the lco final 9 ( hole 18 red fourmounds) to tie christain for third

What's the status? Are the baskets in? How are the pads marked? Geez, we never hear about anything south of Eugene!

[olydiscgolf]

I got the duece on #8 at SeaTac. Drive got slowed down by the big guardian trees halfway down the fairway. Crashed Chains HARD from 150'+ with an MRV. Its a good thing it hit, because it was going way past!

[Matt B.]

What's the status? Are the baskets in? How are the pads marked? Geez, we never hear about anything south of Eugene!

17 baskets in, 16 teepads. Basket for Hole 17 and teepads for 17 and 18 are in progress, still need some earth moving work from the City. Pads are mostly not marked yet. There is still some debate about what the flow/hole order should be. Lots of garbage cans, some cool benches, an elevated pin on #2. A huge amount of work from local dg'ers went into the course and it's great to have another place to play.

Some may call it 5 long... but I got a 2

[General Scales]

Best birdie is a tie for me.

1.) Downriver, old hole 11 (think its 9 now). Drilled a great drive that caught a giant skip and put me bout 80 feet with a clear run at the basket. First time I'd ever tried a jump putt besides effin around with them. Dead center, dropped straight in.

2.) Four Mounds, Porcupine, the hole before the signature hole. Drilled a good drive, bout 70 feet back in the tree line. Threw a sky hyzer and drilled basket without chains.

Both were this year. Gotta love that Discraft Ringer.

[mazza]

my best birdie.

at ft. steli in the grove on the big hole(nw #11) put my drive most of the way down the fairway. grab my roc and huckd it hard as hell. in mid flight i hit what i thought was a tree branch. but when i got closer to my disc i seen a bird floppin on the ground and a bunch of feathers all around my disc(so i assumed that in fact got a tru birdie) i laugh hella hard then sank my put for a par.

so there thats my best birdie i have gotten while playin a round

[Matt B.]

Some may call it 5 long... but I got a 2

Ok, now I'm really confused! :biggrin2: You said you dueced Hole 6 in the long position before you birdied it. Leading me to wonder if it was considered a par 4. IE you got a two before you got a three. I am not referencing the possible numbering changes of hole 5 and 6.

FWIW, Hole 6 in the long is a harder three, but definitely not a par four, IMO.

[Will of Doom]

Hole 17 at Pier, in the long position, is 429 feet.

Nice job! :rockon:

According to the RCO site it was 477, either way it's a long shot. :D

I got the 429 number from the course map on this site. That's probably more in line because I've thrown close-ish to the basket, and I'm sure as hell not throwing anywhere near 477.

But like you said, that's a heck of a shot.

[ahukingacehole]

My first round at Bryant in the Calapooia Classic this year I birdied all 4 of the par 4's. The field holes are not to tough just long, but I was proud of getting 3's on those crazy wooded holes.

You can get that far. I've watched you throw. Get ahold of one and you'll be right there.

[Joshua Olmsted]

Was that for the long position specifically Scott, because the DGCR page has it listed as 477 in the long position. I think 429 might be the short spot, the hole is quite downhill.

[Scott]

http://www.oregondiscgolf.com/course_maps/Pier_Park.gif

357 to the short
429 to the long.

I'll buy that - I've thrown to the short position (basket was in the long, of course).

Yup, sounds right to me too. I've birdied the short a few times, and even though it's downhill, it's unlikely that I threw it much more than 350'.

[REDFIVE]

it's not my best birdie but it always feels good to get. Got 18 at white river today, made the crummy round worth while. I think the bird I am most proud of is green 12 at riverside. I had played the course for years and didn't think it was possible for the longest time but finally got it last summer for the first time. It is an extension of blue/red 6along the river. It is near 500 and feels good to get a pump anywhere near the circle. 5 at white river with the double mando to the island green was fun to get also. Pro 15 during doubles at steilly was cool, my drive, mike's fairway. Ace. SE. 1 at steilly is always fun. Didn't respond to this because I couldn't think of my favorite but nowthat ihaverattled of afew I should stop because birdies are all fun and I could go on for a while.

[GettinBetter]

^ 18 from blue at white river.

[REDFIVE]

^ 18 from blue at white river.

There's another course at white river?

[mazza]

yeah they have a red and blue tee boxes blue is pro and red is am. also they have a summer/winter courses

long pin 16 at Dabney. no trees on the turnover drive put me within 50 to drop a duece

[Sausage Fingers]

long pin 16 at Dabney. no trees on the turnover drive put me within 50 to drop a duece

That's a SICK drive and 50' putt to top it all off! My only birdie on 16 long was a lucky shot from the short pin placement that stuck in the chains...:pirate:

[General Scales]

New best birdie (at least for this year).

Corbin Park, hole 9, I believe it's in A placement right now. 420 feet to the pin. Hard to get a clean rip on since the fairway is now littered with dirt mounds.

Planted a First Run Force six feet from the basket on Saturday. Nice way to do it. Not the hardest birdie but the drive was spectacular.

[jevon]

I got a 3 on hole 18 at Timber, in the right position. Stalker off the tee to the dirt road. Errant TeeBird shot to the left side of the fairway short of the tee of 19. 100+ feet hyzer with a Challenger into the chains. Call it a par three if you want but we called it a four and I counted the birdie. It was during doubles and I was playing Cali but never took an extra shot on that hole.

[putter anonymous]

My best 2 every came two years ago at millsite park SOWS. On the baseball field, just called yoseman and he says it is at least 650. Only other 2 on it came a couple of years before and it was lane mason. It was into a wicked bad head wind. In tournament play atleast 45 people saw it. It felt better then any ace I'v ever had.:cheers:

[LakeStevensBA]

My best 2 came last year during the 2nd day at Worlds. The hole was about 550 feet and I threw my 150g CE Leopard (I think I have about 4 of them from good ole Gaiwan) twice. The second one actually went farther than my drive and buried for a birdie. I was on top of the world until I missed a 12 foot par putt on the next hole. Dammmmmm..

If I remember right, I think Smoking Joe from this forum was in my group too. Not sure since I played that course back to back that day.

Nice BA! I would say my best deuce would be getting a 2 on the longest couple of holes at Crystal Mountain. I believe it was hole 15 and 18? 15 was almost 700ft. down hill and 18 is the big avalanche hole. Sweet course for those who have not played it.

[Stimpi]

My most memorable bird was early on in my career. I discovered disc golf in 1999, and this birdie was in January, 2003. I was throwing all sidearm at the time and flicked a 150 CH Valkrie twice to nail #9 at Downriver (@420'). I flipped out, assuming I'd never make another shot as great as that one, so I had everyone in my group sign my disc, and I put it on the wall. Now I look up at it and just smile. I've gotten a lot better, contrary to my belief at the time, and I've had zillions of magical birdies and other assorted shots. The cool thing is, I still flip out when I nail a monster shot. I don't think I'll ever get used to them or take them for granted.

[emmarose]

my best 2 was on hole 14 at pier park (where i've only had 3 2's as it happens). i had my average, 250 foot right in the middle of the fairway kind of drive, but off towards the left side of the fairway more than i would like ... so i had almost just as far again to go to the green... i threw a big ol' hyzer to make it around the big guardian cedar trees, could tell it was a good shot, ran around so's i could see the basket (oh, yeah... it was a blind shot, too ;) ) and watched it skip off the hard pack about 30 feet back of the basket and jump on up into the chains... so satisfying.

peace threw disc golf,

[Chad_from_BC]

In Kamloops we have a course that is very long with a few very big holes. Hole 4 is one of them. It's nearly 670 feet from the back pad to the pin. It's downhill but not crazy downhill. The right side of the fairway is a wall of tall trees that cuts across the fairway at about the 400 foot mark. Past those trees it turns in to a gully that you do NOT want to go in to. That gully continues up the fairway all the way past the pad but it's not as bad. So basically a smallish to very nasty gully on the left a wall of trees on the right. The challenge is that if you want a shot at a 2 you need to hyzer flip your disc out and over top of the tall trees at the 400 foot mark, keep turning to give you another 200 feet of glide and then fade back left to the green through a fairly small gap in the trees to make is the nearly 670 feet for your 2.

Sorry if that explanation was poor, it's just a little hard to describe without playing it or seeing. Regardless last year in the fall I missed acing it by about 5 feet. I putted out for my 2 with my destroyer. It was awesome. Last week I came sort of close and had a 75 foot outside chance at a 2 but I didn't make the shot.

[Adam Schneider]

My best birdie was a few weeks ago at Adair #5. The basket was up on the berm and I parked my drive just below it on the right by throwing my longest non-downhill drive ever: 380' with my 164g Halo.

[snap7times]

Holey moley, that means u birdied #6 in the straight long behind the fortress of trees before u birded the right hand placement? That's super cool.. Hole #7 in the long position is a pretty tough birdie for those who dont have the power to air it out over the first 300 feet worth of trees, dang...
I would have to say my best birdie would be.... so many of them, but sounds so easy if it compares to dexter holes heh. #17 west at milo, #7 East (par 4), #9 East (par 4), #16 East (par 4)... hmmm thinking hard here... #7 long at Whistler's Bend, #17 long Whistler's bend... ahh back to work... will think of some more...

reading this thread got me curious what my answers were when this thread started.... and umm dexterhawk, the guy who started it all... i was his partner at eugene celebration and watched him throw the tee shot and make the 60+ foot bird on hole 18 so am sure he gotten them all now...
anyways, my best recent birdie would prob be hole 7 long at morley field...

[DexterHawk]

Still haven't birded 18 long at dexter...

But now that we have the grove I have a whole new check list... but then I just thought about it and I've birded every hole there at least once... so yeah 18 long!

[runnaman]

It could be a birdie depending on your "what is par" answer, but I got a 3 on hole 18 at Adair. It was in the short position, but it still feels good.

[DexterHawk]

I've gotten the short one in two a bunch of times... so I'll wait for the day I get 18 long to declare my dominance over Dexter... maybe this afternoon.

[esquire]

Hole 6 of the super-9 @ mt. bachelor (the basket is at the base of the cinder cone). Righty forehand flex shot with z-flick, hyzering out just in front of the stand of pines to the left of the biscuit. Cashed the 40 footer.

[olydiscgolf]

#5 Trojan. is my longest duece. I can't say for sure but I think that hole is around 575'.

[JMan]

^^^^^
that's an eagle

[NWDiscer]

i think i can now post on this thread.

i birdied hole 17 at Hagg yesterday 80 full strides up the hill.


oh yea it was a new version Ont. ROC 176 :rockon:

[Uhlman]

My best feeling birdies have come after much frustration. At the course in Pendleton hole 3 is only 205 feet long however, there is a creek that runs perpendicular then bends parallel to the fairway. I have lost many discs to the creek on this hole. This hole was my nemesis. If there is, one hole that inspired me to practice my drive it’s this one. Now instead of loosing discs to the creek I now birdie this hole frequently that is if I don’t over shoot the hole. I have also learned that one must respect the creek or get wet

[Chad_from_BC]

^^^^^
that's an eagle

It depends on the whole I think. 550-575 when it's fairly open is just two 275-300 foot throws and a putt. Pretty much a par 3. If there's a ton of trees and shit in the way maybe it's a 4. That's how I look at it anyways.

Then again , if it's nearly impossible for the average person to get a 2 maybe it's a par 4 lol.

Well, if it takes a drive and an approach to get to the green, then its usually a par 4.

For pros, this hole would be a very boring par 3. If I remember correctly, it has nasty thick bushes on the right the whole way, and water on the left (but way left). The pin is somewhat close to the bushes on the right. Its a decent par 4 for most divisions besides Open Men/Masters.

Also, you must remember, a par 3 that is near 600' is rated a 3 for players rated 1000 or better; so everyone rated 1k or better raise your hand...
I agree, for pros this is a 3, for the other 99% of disc golfers in the world, it's a 4. Never quite understood why so many have such a problem with 4s and 5s. Oh I've heard, math; it's too hard to add or subtract a 1...yep that new math is a bitch.

[DexterHawk]

The reason most disc golfers want to call all holes par three is that PAR DOESN'T MATTER... score is score no matter what par is. There are 200 ft. holes out there that I am excited to get a 3 on and 600 ft. holes that I'm disappointed to get a 4 on. If you want to be really honest about it any hole over say 450 is a par four, because the rules indicate that par should be set so that an good player (i.e. a pro) could par the hole with two putts. That said I love it when course set the par at a difficult level and any throw that you are trying to put in the basket is a putt so...

[Chad_from_BC]

Oh agreed. I don't really even know what the 'par' is on my home course. You could argue anything between 54 and 57. All I know is that my PB is a 50. Hoping to get that to a 47 soonish, cause speaking of birdies there's only one hole on the course I havnt gotten a 2 on. So in theory I suppose I can shoot a 37 on it. Lol. If only it worked that way.

Par matters in the sense of describing the difficulty of the hole. That being said, different divisions will have vastly different driving and approach ranges, so par is variable.

Calling a hole a par 4 or 5 officially on a scorecard or a tee sign is basically just to make scoring easier (+5, -3, etc). With only a couple non-par 3 holes, its easiest to just call everything a par 3. But when there are lots of par 4 and/or 5 holes on a course, then setting up every hole with the pro or am par makes sense.

[Jonesy]

all the blackberries are cleared on 5 trojan from 150' off tee to the basket. its par 3. no gimme though. have to place your upshot, or updrive in my case.

Technically, I guess this is an Eagle.
But at the Masters Cup in '08, I got a 2 on I-5 (Hole #13)
1st ever 2 in competitive play on that hole BY ANYONE. :whistler:

Last year, however, I believe there were 3 more.....But at least I was the 1st.
:wink2:

[purediscgolf]

Hole #15 at La Mirada's Golden State Layout. The dreaded 800 ft Par 5 along the road with the Triple Mandatory. I believe someone got a 14 on this hole a couple groups behind me......:bricks::headbang:

I got a perfectly straight forehand CE Eagle 250ft off the tee safely in the middle of the fairway. :wink2: It was my intention to throw a nice smooth roller inside of the right mando and let it flip into the field for an easy up-shot. I landed my CE Leopard with a bit too much angle and it held straight the whole way down the fairway.....:bowing: Nearly interrupting Nate Doss as he was putting out on the hole.:shocked: He waved back as he pulled his putter....lol:seeya:

I casually walked up to the 40' putt and called out Mark Molnar (We had been having a very casual round).:nahnah: "Check this out Chicken!" I lined up the putt Goofy Foot (Left Foot forward) and smoothed it straight into the chains.:rockon: He was so stoked that he lined up his 35ft putt for a par Goofy too and slammed it. :shooting:

Don't believe it?:confused: Ask Carlo Pelg....It's "The Sickest Hole he has ever seen".....:drool:I think it's still the only Eagle ever on Hole #15 in competition....Cheers,:cheers:

Hit 16 at Horning's Meadow Ridge in 4, long one too.

[erp]

Nice - I'm working to get #3 past that infernal mando tree, but it hasn't happened yet.

The pair ahead of us yesterday had a 4 on that one too - maybe that was you.

I hit #14 in 3 too - nailed a 125' putt because I hosed my drive and figured I'd just go for it since the backdrop was there...nothing like dead center chains!

Thank you, R-Wood roc!

I've gotten my third drive past the mando, but getting a 4 after that would take a miracle approach shot.

[Ol' Bob]

I could probably do it if I could name a designated driver.

[snap7times]

how about this, your tournament hasn't been great and you have been hitting only 25 percent from 15-35 feet all weekend long, that is a heck of a lot of missed birds in a 27 hole layout.... finally had a solid round the 3rd round, at even at the last hole. Threw a safe shot about 45 left of pin since ob on the right. Thought about it when i got up there, clear, got a hill backdrop to keep it from going too far, be conservative and get the guarantee 3/super lucky 2 and be content, or go for bird and worry about par later, let's finish this tournament on a good note, a -1 round and jump some players for a bigger prize? Of course, i had to go for it, I had nailed a few 45-50 footers all weekend, so alright line it up, let it fly high and bam birdie to finish the tournament... then a new friend of mine, ron gless, says he got it on camera, oh the picture looks sooo sweet, i can't wait for him to send it to me, but it definitely made my weekend to get that caught on camera and on the last hole yeah

[mazza]

its always sweet to finsh on a good note. but to get it that shot saved on film...is something to brag about for awhile

[Rolly]

Dunno about best ever, but.. birdied #8 at Seatac, backhand roller, and nailed the 60ft putt. Also a friend of mine birdie #4, both yesterday.. Same friend birdied #15 at The Tac a while back.

#10 at High Bridge, in the long position.

Thats a hell of a deuce. I almost hit it on Saturday with a long jumper from off the right side. Hit rim and rolled to the road. Birdie attempt turned to two over. Bleh.

Best birdie of the year for me is 3 @ Highbridge. Beautiful floaty Nuke drive that never faded and left me 25 feet away. Kissed the top of the bottom rim to bounce in the very bottom of the chains. Second birdie on three in three weeks!

[Ode]

i made a 25 footer for 3 on 1 west at milo in the long placement last week

Last night I Birdied hole 1 at the course in Pendleton. I started with Steve (175 star valk). He flew beautifully and landed about 60 to 80 feet from the basket. Then it was Jedrek’s (my 175 glow Roc) turn. I lined up for a layup knowing that if I went for it I would probably overshoot the basket. As I released Jedrek in to the wild blue yonder:seeya: I knew he was going to probably skip off the top of the basket or at least hit the yellow band of death but then, something happened, the sun, moon, and stars aligned for that moment and… CHING! I was shocked:shocked:. The two other guys I was playing with were amazed:bowing:. My first birdie on hole 1.:dancing:

[mazza]

this weekend out at the W.R.O on round 3 A course. hole 18 390 ish. it had a mando to the left road o.b along the right side of fairway and also a water hazard. i use my duke(164 esp nuke) and over drove the hole. but lucky enough i turned around and hit my 45ft putt for birdie. that was my best birdie for the weekend

[Nathan]

I have finally birdied all holes at Dalaiwood. Every hole in the A positions and the B's. Hole 8 B was the one holding me back then I threw a 410' drive for a 35' putt and sunk that. Maybe not my best birdie but I've been waiting a long time to get all of the holes.
*All holes are par 3's.

i birdied 1,4,6,7,8,9,10,12,15 and 17 at whistler's bend on saturday. It was my best round there ever. I had bogey's on 11 and 2, and finished at -8

Best birdie of the year to date for me:

Sunday, Highbridge, hole 10. In the old position. Threw an Z SS Avenger on a nice hyzer flip line. Skipped about 40 feet away still coming in right and hit the yellow rim. Dropped underneath for a drop in.

Okay, so not the most spectacular putt but who cares? Still my best birdie of the year :laughing:

[REDFIVE]

Got 14 at whiteriver in the long for the first time while playing singles. it felt good to finally make it happen.

[The Course Bro]

Damn, where did your drive land? That is one heck of a birdie with the guardian tree line defending that green!!

[REDFIVE]

I hit the last of the guardian trees kicking me down and far left into the little ditch just short and left of the basket. Hit my 35 footer for the deuce. if it didnt hit the trees it would have been under it.

[KCrabtree]

I got it in the Last round of the ice bowl this year. Mine was more on the putt though. Probably about a 45-55 footer. Put the icing on the cake

i played pier park this weekend with my buddy ben armstrong; who had never played the course before. tee off on hole 2 and ben shanks his disc left all the way to second base on the little baseball field. well, you know what thread this is... he then proceeds to pull out his Buzzz and SLAMS the red line and drops a sweet bird as he exclaims "Buzzz in Action!" lol. me being a Roc guy, i was a particularly bitter, but stoked :-D.

me being a Roc guy, i was a particularly bitter.

They'll never learn. Having a Buzzz feels really nice.

My best birdie(s) just recently happened at Dexter for me. I birdied #7 short, which is the first time I have got that one, oh and it's the hole named "oh well" it plays to the left about 309' but you either have to play it way over top or throw through this opening and have your disc skip or ride that curve. Then about 2 days after that I was playing Dexter again and birdied 18 short. Also my first birdie on that hole. First I tossed my Discraft Xpress and it rolled about 400' for me then I just left the rest up to my Banger GT. it ended up being about a 125-150 footer.

Nice, what route did you take?

[Darr]

Nice, what route did you take?

The new one silly! HUGE anny flex shot with my champion katana. smashed the putt from inside the bushes about 25-30 feet out. :shooting:

[runnaman]

Nice. I think that's the best route to take. Was that the route most of the pros took? I didn't get see any of them play that hole.

[snap7times]

lead card final round only one took the hyzer route... I took it today twice and was 35-50 feet out on the hyzer route, feels so easy, the anny looks tough cuz has to be perfect from what I see...

[runnaman]

I like the flex shot. From the few times I've thrown it, it has been more consistant.

[Jaemes]

After throwing my drive somewhat short and left, into the long grass between 3 and 10, I put my classic Roc into the basket at over 200 feet. The best thing about that birdee was that it was a completely straight shot that dropped right in. Funny how a shot like that can sustain you through weeks of bad games.

Had a 20 ft. putt for 3 on hole 6W at the BSF on Saturday. I'd never been within 100 ft of the basket on that one before. I made the putt and carded what is easily my best birdie.

[runnaman]

On the Genius hole yesterday, I had a great drive over the hill (landed halfway down the hill), threw a classic roc for an upshot, and had a drop in birdie. Not as cool as an Eagle, but I was pretty happy with it.

[snap7times]

a 20 footer on 6w, niceeeee... still need those long distance lessons, I was maxing out at 400 all weekend with consistency from 325-375. Was glad to have a 10 foot par shot on 6w. My best birdie was easily 13w with my 2nd drive being parked less than 5 feet from basket straight up perfect. Did birdie 12E from across the road on the left, 20 footer on 9E for the bird, 15 footer on 1w. If the disc would have gone in on 18E from 45, that would have the best cuz it was the last hole. But 13W was the best for the weekend.

During my Sunday round at the BSF on the Genius hole I threw my Flash well leaving about a 160-170 foot 2nd shot. I blew the chains up with my Buzzz for the Eagle!

[TreeLove]

Nice! Climo also eagled that, from about the same distance!

[Fridgecat]

During my Sunday round at the BSF on the Genius hole I threw my Flash well leaving about a 160-170 foot 2nd shot. I blew the chains up with my Buzzz for the Eagle!

Not nearly as cool as a Eagle...but all four of us on the Second Card MM1 Round 2 birdied the genius hole! Great Frame, for sure!

[KG_MCDGC]

Nice eagle Kenny!

I carded birdies on the genius hole both Sat and Sun rounds with 10ft drop-ins.

[TreeLove]

I also birdied the Genius Hole, with a pure ESP Surge RHBH drive , a perfect CE Firebird tomahawk upshot, and short R-Pro Aviar putt! :)

But how did you do on your 12hour a day island hole home from the weekend before?

[Kenny B]

But how did you do on your 12hour a day island hole home from the weekend before?

Ha ha ha!!! 6pp!!! OB on the drive and OB on the island approach.

[DMajor]

Atleast you didn't put your drive within 60 and take a 5p

[runnaman]

But how did you do on your 12hour a day island hole home from the weekend before?

8pp :angry: :puke: :slapface:

[SMOKIN JOE]

Whistler's in 94'. Man I didn't even know that course existed then, let alone had any baskets. Was it set up for a tourny only?
BTW-nice birdie. Deep ones are just as awsome as aces. Especially when you factor in the akward position you somtimes find yourself in:cheers:

You would have to ask Yose to be sure. I think it was a 18 hole cowbell course at the time. I believe we played a 27 hole course that year. I know my basket was on hole number 7. Since the nameplate is a 7. It's a long way to carry a mach 3. I Still have that beautiful rock on the wall. Love just thinking about whistlers. While playing the fling on saturday me and a new friend were just talking about how great this day is and to be here. We both said we would trade it for a day at whistlers.

so this weekend out at the L.C.O i had some great birdies. i had 1 or 2 out at high bridge(hole 13 350' uphill parked it 10' from pin and hit the bird) had some nice birdies out at four mounds on sunday( the MA2 played the porcipine 13 two times for a total of 26 holes) BUT after that all was said and done. on monday before we left we played the cape fear course. came up to hole 16 i think its like 460 or 480. i stepd up with my 164 first run esp nuke. took aim and launched this thing at it. it came in just below the basket and sat about 15' out and hit my birdie. that has to be the high light of my weekend

[DexterHawk]

I had a sweet day at the grove yesterday... Carded a -7 with a birdie on 12 (the long placement uphill) two made 50 ft jump putts on consecutive holes (including a sweet one on hole 17 on the mound) and a made 100 ft throw in with my Zepher out of the schull on 10... I love that disc...

Disc golf is fun when it works.

[Forest]

I birdied #18 at Dexter in the short position (525ft) with two forehand air shots.

[Bruce]

So at Milo today...Everything was frozen and the round started off a bit rough. 6 on hole one, 4 on hole 2, then I got my butt in gear. 2 on 3...2 on 4 with a 180 ish foot throw in with a roc, keep in mind this is the 600 footer along the parking lot. Then I went 2 on 5, 2 on 7 as well. Was a good stretch of holes to get warmed up!

[mine all mine]

My best birdie, or maybe eagle...was hole 7 on the West course at the Beaver State Fling. It was before the actual Fling, but I put a 2 on that hole that felt like the best thing I have ever done. It was not a huge upshot, but a mere 40 foot putt from just inside the trees.

[Ol' Bob]

My best birdies: four of them: considering my weak drives, have to be my only Pier Park deuce, and three of them on our last hole here at Mud. The former, at Pier, was a turned over drive that made it about half way to the pin of hole three and stuck up the slope on the right from where I holed out with my FLX Surge. All three of my birds on 'the pond hole' here were from drives that made it fifty or so feet past the pond. The remaining 200 feet got finished off each time with the Cartman 'Authoritah' dye Star Wraith that Fletch did for me for Christmas five or six years ago. Cartman just seems to know the way.

[RonTheWhip]

Nate and I shot matching 51's this week at the SC tournament at Willamette. My best up till then was a 54, so shooting under 54 both rounds was rad. Nate has never shot worse than a 53 at Willamette, haha.

We each had some great birdies during the rounds.

Nate: 10 (short), 14, 16, 17 (short) in round 1
Dion: 12, 17 round 1

Nate: 11, 12, 17 (short) in round 2
Dion: 6, 10, 12, 17 in round 2

The highlight being hole 10 and 17 in my opnion. Getting a birdie in superclass on a longish hole feels like getting a birdie on a 450' hole with a perfect throw in regular dg.

[Sam]

2 on 4 with a 180 ish foot throw in with a roc, keep in mind this is the 600 footer along the parking lot.

Sick!

...2 on 7 as well.

SICK!

I have never heard of a 2 on 4 but to follow it up with a 2 on 7, too?! SICK!

:cheers:

[Bruce]

Thanks Sam, it was a good 18 holes that I was able to get in!

[Sam]

Sounds it. I heard of Barry hitting band on his 2 shot on 4 but it hit band. F'ing great fairway ace and eagle.

["BEAST"]

My best birdie was about 2 years ago at Willamette park in Corvalis Or. on hole #3. It was 20mph wind right to left and I was lieing 1 shooting 2 stuck behind the grove of berch trees on the right side of the fairway, had a 2' by 2' tunnel to soot through at the basket. I threw my destroyer thinking if I hit something it will keep going like destroyers do, when it cleared the trees I couldn't see it, then I herd chains! I paced it off at 195' through the trees! The group I was with thought someone else was on the hole ahead of us till they saw me paceing.

Just yerterday at corbin, hole 2, I tossed my skeeter into the water, luckly it was only about 15ft in and knee deep. So I pulled off my sweater, socks and shoes, rolled up my pants and went in after it. I took the shot just for fun and I managed to bounce off the rock just before the basket and it dropped right in. Id say it was a interesting birdie :D

Yeah, that was definite on the epic. Can't believe you birded that and a few of the other ones out there. Killer round Big Red! :rockon:

[mazza]

so i got hole 18 on canyon twice on saturday the 20th and then today out at fort steli...i got hole #4 on the south east course made the mando and put my drive in the circle and nailed my putt for the birdie

[snap7times]

Hmm. I was thinking, why not post my best Pro Worlds birdie... Had 4 the first round, holes 6, 17, 24, and 26 at Dela. 26 was definitely the best one since it's a 300 foot severe uphill blind basket to the right and I parked it.
CSUMB I had 7 birdies. Holes 23, 24, 25, 4, 8, 12, 14 and 12 was the coolest one for me since the basket is like 20 feet from a cliff and is about 25 feet high 325ish feet away. Got this from just outside the circle.
Ryan ranch had 7 birdies as well, holes 25, 27, 4, 10, 11, 17, 23. Hole 10 was the best one since it is 460 feet flat but there was a 10-20 mph crosswind from the right side. The lead group was on 15. I put my drive a little over 400 with a 60 or so foot putt and there is a downgrade after the basket. Put it up and fell perfectly in the basket.
Pinto was a disaster as birdies did not come to me. Had 1 birdie on Hole C and that was an easy one.

[Rakoz]

Last Summer- The beast of Milo (am tee, short position) Eagle on the first round, birdie second round! One of my best days of disc golf ever.

Honorable mention:
Today- 40-50ft shot into major wind on short #10 Lunchtime.
3 years ago or so- #18 at Timber (old 18- the one with the powerline towers)

[Yoduh]

Pro worlds, Pinto lake.. I fived hole 1 after slipping on the tee and birdied the next two.. After holes 4-13 I was 17 over par. :bricks: Holes 14-27 I was 11 under with two birdie spit outs. The only hole I didn't birdie on the back was hole 26. I chained out of 27 for an eagle 2 after throwing a sick roller

[Yoduh]

Best birdie of all time for me was Geezer on the last card in a WA series final 9. Barefoot (longstory) Teebird roller to 60 foot, hit the putt with a rock. The only two discs I was carrying for the 9. Shot a -4 barefoot with 2 discs and a bogey on 15(starting hole) I threw a roller and put it in the water.. After wading out toget it my group was ready and I left my bag and shoes in the bushes to go finish the hole, after throwing a great drive on the next hole barefooted I was about to run back and grab my stuff but I decided against it.. I had no mini.. Made a couple good driver putts.. It was fun!!
