What is "par"?
Par in golf refers to the standard number of strokes that an expert golfer is expected to take to complete a hole or a course. Each hole on a golf course has its own par, which is based on its length and difficulty. For example, a par 3 hole should ideally be completed in 3 strokes, while a par 5 hole is expected to be completed in 5 strokes. Scoring par means the player took the expected number of strokes to complete the hole. Par is used as a benchmark for evaluating a golfer's performance.
Examples
He made par on every hole to finish even for the round.
