Sweaters or jackets on a cool day.Hats are optional.The sport of golf has its own language, and can be puzzling for outsiders to understand. Here are the scoring terms in golf, and what each means.Par is the predetermined number of shots a golfer should require to complete a hole. For example, on a Par 4, it usually should take golfers four shots total to complete the hole. A Par 3 should take golfers three shots, and a Par 5 five shots. Pars register as an even score for the hole.
If you have ever played miniature golf, you know a hole in one is very common, but in regular golf, it's very, very rare. If you do happen to get one, it's called an ace.Another score that is rare is an albatross/double eagle, which is three strokes under par on a hole. This score could only happen on a Par 5 by getting a score of two.When you see a golfers' score of +5, +6, it's mostly because of bogies. A bogey is one stroke over par on a hole.
