Four in a row????!!!!!! That's ain't nuthin to sneeze at, man!!!!! And, from a "lefty"???? Great work!!! What did you shoot, after 4 birds in a row??

Most of us are overjoyed with one birdie in a row! Two in a row is a feat we tell our wives about, even though they don't understand. Might be interesting to see how many birds in a row most of the players on ShotTalk have carded.

It was an up and down day, finished with 3 double bogeys and 6 birdies for an even par 71. Not a bogey on the card!!!

5 over through 11 and getting pretty down on myself (was the 2nd round of club champs) before I reeled those off on 12-15. Missed bird on 16 by 2 inches left and left birdie putt on 17 4 inches short, dead in the heart. Eagle putt on 18 sat 1/2 an inch away on the top side of the hole. Just wouldn't fall!!! So basically 5 under in the last 7 holes that could have been 8 under!!! Thats probably asking a bit much though.

Especially from a lefty..... Must've been the way I was slicing my putts into the hole.

My best is 2 birds in a row. Followed by a string of bogies. Heck, the most number of pars I've ever strung together was 4.

His wife on the bag at Turnberry, his son at Glen Abbey... Is Calc hurting for cash these days? Who's next week Cheech Martin??

I caddied a proam at Harbour Town once and on the ride to the parking lot, Calc's caddie was on the bus with us. I asked him if he was his fulltime caddy and he said: "Hell no! Calc's too cheap to have a full time caddie. He picks up his caddie at each event."

I don't ever remember stringing together birdies. I had 11 pars in a row a couple of weeks ago............but birdies??? Nope. Calc is really playing well these days. I'd like to see him win something big...........maybe the PGA?

Birdie string - 4
Par string - 16. Followed by a bogey, then a birdie. Kinda left me feeling hollow and empty.
