Scoring
The golf score card is used to record the score or numbers of shots taken on each hole when playing a round of golf.
Each hole has a score known as Par3, Par4 or Par5 set according to its length, the Par is the number of shots a golf professional should take for that hole when playing to a 0-handicap.
The total score over 18 holes can vary on different golf course between 66 and 75 this is also the SSS (Standard Scratch Score).
The Score Card
Each course will have its own score card with the following
- ‘Yards’ for the length of each hole (women normally in red)
- 'Par' the number of shots needed to complete the hole
- 'Index' relates to the difficulty of each hole with 1 being the hardest and 18 the easiest.
