For amateur readers this post is very helpful, if they want to learn about the golf and its scoring. Their are 18 holes in the golf course and each hole has its par, there are par-3, par-4, and par-5. par stand for actual number of shots which is used to play a hole, and when you ad the par for each hole than you get the overall par for the whole course. There are different pars for different courses but the most regular par for general 18 hole golf course is 72. After understanding the par now we learn about their implementation into the game.

For 3 shots on a par-4, we call it a birdie, you many be familiar with this word. When you shoot 2 shots under par, we call it eagle. Same when you shot 3 under par then we call it double eagle, it is also called as albatross. There is one more word bogey, which means that you shot one over par on the hole. A double bogey is 2 over par and triple is for 3.

Handicapping system is the unique feature of golf, where different players compete each other on a level playing field while playing together. The handicap generally describe about the player plays in relation to the standard scratch score. Under regular conditions, SSS is a measure of the playing difficulty of the golf course. This SSS score can be in plus or in minus. Player with a handicap of 14 is going for 14 over the SSS for the course.
