ScoringA score of one stroke under par on a hole. For example, scoring 3 on a par-4 hole.
Explained Simply
The name "birdie" originated in the early 1900s in the United States, when "bird" was slang for something excellent. Making a birdie is one of the most satisfying feelings in golf — it means you played a hole better than its design intended.
