WHAT DOES PAR FOR THE COURSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

par for the course

Par (score)

In golf, par is the pre-determined number of strokes that a scratch golfer should require to complete a hole, a round, or a tournament. Pars are the central component of stroke play, the most common kind of play in professional golf tournaments. The term is also used in golf-like sports such as disc golf with the same meaning. A sign at The River Course at Blackwolf Run in Kohler, Wisconsin, indicating that the hole being played is a par-four. The length of each hole from the tee placement to the pin determines par values for each hole primarily but not exclusively. Almost invariably, holes are assigned par values between three and five strokes. For a casual player from the middle tees, a par-three hole will be 100–250 yards from the tee to the pin. Par-four holes are 250–450 yards, although tournament players will often encounter par-four holes 500 yards or more, as it is not uncommon for short par-five holes for normal play to be turned into par-four holes in championship play. Par-five holes are typically 450–600 yards, but in the modern game holes of over 600 yards are becoming more common in championship play.
