Standard
USGA 18 holes golf courses consist of 4 par four holes,
4 par five holes and 10 par four holes. Each hole
composed of a tee box, fairway, putting green and the
hole.
The
golf game is played over a golf course that contains 18
holes, a golf hole is composed of a
tee box, which is
the starting point for any given hole; a
fairway is a
pathway proceeding away from the tee box toward the
putting green, putting green is a smooth surface where
the hole is found.
Golfer
start the game on each hole with "tee off" from the tee
box by setting the ball on a little wooden peg called a
"tee" in the ground. The golfer hits the ball repeatedly
along the fairway from its resting point on the tee
using various golf clubs until it rolls in the hole on
the green. This sequence of events is done repeatedly
over 18 holes and all the strokes are combined and
calculated to generate an 18-hole score.
Par
is the expected score for an expert golfer would be
expected to make for a given hole. In other words, Par
mean no error play from tee to green under normal
weather condition and two putt on putting green. Par is an
ideal score which very few golfers actually achieve on a
regular basis.
Bogey
(one stroke over par) and double bogey and triple bogey
(two and three strokes over par, respectively) are
another common terms referring to scores on holes.
Birdie refer to one under par and eagle refer to two
under par.
Golf
holes are of difference lengths, standard USGA 18 holes
golf courses are consist of four Par three holes, four
Par five holes and ten Par four holes with total of 72
total strokes for 18 holes.
Holes
ranging up to 250 yards in length are generally assigned
a par of three strokes, it should take scratch golfer
one shot to get from tee box to green and two putts to
get the ball in the hole. Holes ranging from 250 to 450
yards in length are usually considered to be par fours,
allowing two shots from tee box to green and two putts
to finish the hole. Holes over 450 yards are generally
par five, requiring three shots to the green and again
two putts.
