What is a "birdie"?
A birdie in golf is when a player completes a hole in one stroke less than par, which is the number of strokes considered standard for that hole. For example, if a hole is a par 4, a birdie would mean completing it in 3 strokes. Scoring a birdie is a good achievement and shows that the player performed better than expected on that hole. Birdies can help lower the player's overall score and are a key goal in competitive golf.
