Etymology
The term 'birdie' in golf originated in the United States in the late 19th century. The earliest recorded use of the word dates back to 1889 when a player referred to a score of one stroke under par as a 'bird of a score.' The term gained popularity and was eventually shortened to 'birdie.' The playful term 'bird' was likely used due to its connotation of something being good or outstanding, much like how a bird is often seen as a symbol of freedom and excellence. The concept of birdieing has since become an integral part of golf terminology and is frequently used by players, commentators, and fans alike to celebrate strong performances on the course.
