Spring means birdies on greens
BY CAROLANNE DOIG
"Spring has sprung, the grass has ris, I
wonder where the birdies is?" We have
heard it said a.million times but when a golfer
recites this expression, you can be quite sure
that he doesn t give a hoot about where good
of robin redbreast is. Nope! The birdies of
major concern to golfers are purely numer-
ical. (A birdie is one under par on a hole).
These birdies are almost as elusive as the rare
Mute Swan, especially since golfers tend to
be very vocal in their quest for bitdies.
The die hard golfer will pursue birdies with
all the enthusiasm of the most loyal of
Audobon's followers. When You think of it
even the golfers' attire is in many ways
similar to the duds worn by members of a
bird -watching society. Remember Miss
Hathaway on the Beverly Hillbillies? Clad in
Bermuda style shorts, knee socks, and a sun
hat, she would clamber through fields,
clutching binoculars in search of various
species of birds. Now, see the golfer clad
similarly although usually in brighter colors,
trudging through what appears -to outsiders
as a field, carrying every piece of equipment
that could possibly put a birdie within his
grasp.
The "great birdie hunt" has begun again
in earnest, lasting in these parts for several
months from April until October. Although
the numerical birdies prove to be a rare
species on the golf course, many of the
players have begun to take on the resem-'
blance of their prey. While out on the course
many of us have come upon two -legged
birdies of varying plumage. I'm sure you'll
recognize these more common species during
your golf game by following my "golfer's
birdie watching guide".
The Designer Labelled Peacock - easily
recognized by his color coordinated, brightly
accessorized golfwear. More commonly seen
around the clubhouse than out on the course.
Plumage varies, but there is usually one of
notably bright colors.
Common Crow - As the name suggests this
golfing birdie is often heard long before he is
seen. It is especially notable after a
particularly good game.
Not -So -Wild Turkey - There Is at least one
of this species at every club. Though he's
difficult to identify by plumage, once you're
close enough you will recognize him readily.
This bird is always in the wrong place (no
matter where) at the wrong time (no matter
when). Unfortunately not migratory.
Red faced Thrasher - Easily identified by
his flushed features and erratic actions of
dub flailing. Usually spotted in deep rough

but has been sighted in bushes and even sand
traps. Sometimes dangerous.
Empty Pocketed Pigeon - common bird on
any golf course. This bird can be of varying
plumage. He'is far more confident with his
game than he should be and he is often seen
in the clubhouse, buying the "pops".
Pigeon Hawk - Seen mostly in the same
vicinity of the empty pocketed pigeon. The
pigeon hawk has an unusually high handicap
which is in noway indicative of his skill. Often
seen consuming the "pops", courtesy of his
prey.
Green -faced Grossbeak - this name can be
translated to mean envious nosy parker.
Hangs around scoreboard and handicap rack
checking out the scores and handicaps of
other local birds. Curiosity about scores is
main characteristic.
Graduated Duck - Common name Quack.
Most often seen on Wednesday afternoons at
wealthyiclubs, golfing for "medicinal pur-
poses". Tends to associate more with its own
species.
Fairway Roadrunner - Fastest golfer on the
course, has been known to lap the rest of the
field. Usually plays alone because other birds
cannot keep up. Never fun to be in front of but
then you're never' in front of him for long.
Mockingbird - Difficult to identify by his
swing because the mocking bird neder swings
the same way twice. Always looking for the
answer to the perfect swing, the moc ingbird
will imitate'anyone who has ever score lower
than he.
Solitary Sandpiper - Always found i sand
traps no matter where it is located. H been
knownto turn into the Purple San iper in
front of fellow goffers' very eye . Distant
relative of the Shoveler.
Wandering Tattler - Re nized by his
distinct warble, this bird revs s in telling of
his fellow golfers' errors, errant shots, and
statistics. Never fun to golf with but popular
In the club house.
Arctic Loon (y) - Common in northerly
climates golfing early in the spring. Close
relative of the -Common Loon(y) seen in large
flocks on golf courses in better weather.
Greater Fairway Chicken • No fun to golf
with, this golfer will never take a chance.
Always down the middle, he lays up on the
water holes and plays for the centre of the
green no matter where the pin Is. Steady
Eddy is common name. Very even tempered.
There are many more "birdies" on the golf
courses all over the world. The birdies on the
score card are held in greater reverance but
the two -legged type are far easier to find. If
you think the Dodo Bird is dead just come out
to your local Pro Shop!
