Word origin
The term 'birdie' has its origins in American golf slang, dating back to the early 20th century. It is believed to have originated around 1903 when a golfer referred to a score of one stroke under par as a 'bird' because it was considered a particularly good score. The word 'bird' itself was used in a colloquial sense to mean something excellent or wonderful. Over time, the term evolved and became widely accepted in the golfing community to specifically refer to under-par scores on a hole. The word has since gained traction and is commonly used in golfing vernacular, becoming an essential part of the sport's terminology.
