pledge to charities
I pledge $5 for every birdie I make this golf season, and $20 for every eagle to go to a registered charity in Canada. At the end of each month, I'll tally up the birds, and make the gift. I think this is a great way to motivate myself to shoot lower scores, and not feel so guilty about playing so much golf.

I'm in but just so I actually have to contribute something, I'll add $1 for every cuss(that you wouldn't say at work) or thrown/slammed club. ($1 because I don't want to go broke.

If it was $5 per bogey i'd have to get a loan at the bank.

i added up my birdies from last year. i found 22 scorecards, a total of 10 birdies and no eagles. 18 holes (x) 22 rounds = 396 holes. so i had a 2.5% chance of making a birdie last year. very sad statistic.

I had my first Eagle last year and likely around a dozen birds for the year. On the day I got the Eagle I had also gotten two birds. I was on fire until my golfing buddy said I was on fire - then the wheels fell off.

5 rounds, 90 holes, i've walked about 30,000 yards without a birdie. i'm getting pretty ticked off.

Only played once so far, Sunday at the Canadian.. No birds - but 5 tap-in pars which is better than I expected for this time of year with limited range time.

I hit all the par threes and 2 of the par fives in regulation. Only had one three putt all day - which is nice.
I think I said earlier in the thread, there's always a chance I may not have to contribute anything all year. I note that not many people have subscibed to this challenge.

Pablo, if you play today keep your score and equitable score, today HC starts.
EDIT---Mr. Foddz has told me that I cannot even keep track of the dates so maybe I should pay better attention when I write down my scores tooLefty Lucas

Today is only April 13. I believe handicap season does not start until this Thursday, the 15th.

I'm glad I can't keep track of HC yet. I had to give up yesterday after 14 as my back was sore after 7 hours of driving and a cut on my hand reopened and I started bleeding like a stuck pig. (Good thing I had a red golf towel)

I played Manderley today and didn't get close to a birdie. i'm great at saving par though. highlight of the day was on the South course, hole #6. I was playing solo and the group ahead of me was waving me to play through them. I was on the tee and they were at the green. they stood silently as I hooked my tee shot so badly it hit the course map/post thing.
so if you ever play on South #6, take a look at the map sign, i'm sure it has a ball mark on it. a permanent reminder that "nokids was here!"You only get out of something what you put into it

Shut-out, again.
Had some legit chances but failed.
(I three putted the last two holes at Greensmere for bogey, not a great way to end a round.)

Great to have two more participants! Good luck to all. So do we give our money to our own charities or do we pick one.
