BIRDIES Meaning and
Definition
-
Birdies is a noun that refers to small bird-like objects, typically used in sports such as badminton and golf. In badminton, birdies are also known as shuttlecocks, which are conical-shaped devices made up of feathers or plastic and a cork base. Feathered birdies are commonly employed in professional games due to their superior flight characteristics, allowing for precise control and longer rallies. On the other hand, plastic birdies are often used for recreational play due to their affordability and durability. In golf, birdies are a term used to describe a score of one stroke under par on a specific hole. It signifies a noteworthy achievement, as players strive to complete a hole in fewer strokes than its par value. This accomplishment is often celebrated as a birdie, contributing to the golfers' overall score and boosting their performance. Birdies can be achieved by accurately hitting the ball onto the green and successfully sinking it into the cup with one stroke less than the par assigned to that hole. The term birdies aptly captures the notion of avian grace, agility, and skill, encapsulating the essence of these small, flighted creatures and their representation in various sports contexts.
