Birds Are Desirable In Golf

Getting a "birdie" in golf means one stroke under par in playing a single hole, a good sign.

Getting two birdies will be even better, it means two strokes under par in playing two holes.

Getting an "eagle" means two strokes under par in playing one hole, even better than a birdie.

There is no "two geese" in golf; sorry, geese.

One seagull does not work in golf either. Bye bye Jonathan Livingston.

The photos in the post today were taken during the AT&T Golf ProAm game. There were lots of birds on the golf course. The golfers seem not to mind the birds around; especially two of the good stuff are named after birds. The good terms in golf are "birdie", "eagle" and "ace in a hole"; they are associated with under par in strokes. The bad terms are "bogey" and "double bogey" and ...; each bogey means one over par.

Note from Betty: Elsa, Dominque, Tyler and their parents Gabrielle and Curt, Lindsay, and I are going to Oregon for a 5-show weekend. We will have many photos to share when we come back. There will not be any updates on Saturday and Sunday. Blog update will resume on Monday.
