The term ’birdie’ originated in the United States in 1899. H.B.
Martin’s Fifty Years of American Golf contains an account
of a foursomes match played at the Atlantic City (N.J.) CC. One
of the players, Ab Smith relates, "My ball... came to rest
within six inches of the cup. I said ’That was a bird of a
shot... I suggest that when one of us plays a hole in one under
par he receives double compensation.’ The other two agreed and
we began right away, just as soon as the next one came, to call
it a ’birdie." In 19th-century American slang, ’bird’ referred
to anyone or anything excellent or wonderful.
By analogy with ’birdie,’ the term ’eagle’
soon thereafter became common to refer to a score one better
than a ’bird.’ Also by analogy, the term ’albatross’ stands for
double eagle—an even bigger eagle!
