Answer : UNDER PAR
Golf holes of different lengths will require more or fewer strokes by a golfer. And regardless of length, the par number of a hole always allows for two putts. So a 150-yard hole is one on which the expert is expected to hit the green with his tee shot, take two putts, and, therefore, require three strokes to finish that hole. Such a hole is therefore called a par-3.
And every hole on a golf course is rated as either a par-3, a par-4 or a par-5 (par-6 holes also exist, but they are rare).
A very good golfer — or a very lucky golfer — might complete a hole in fewer strokes than the par (called “under par”). And of course, most of us are not “experts” at golf, and so on most holes we’ll need more strokes than the par (called “over par”).
That’s where those other terms — birdies, eagles, bogeys, and so on — come into play. They describe a golfer’s performance on a hole in relation to the hole’s par:
- A birdie is a score of 1-under par on a hole (for example, scoring 4 on a par-5).
- A bogey is 1-over par on a hole.
- An eagle is 2-under par on a hole.
- A double bogey is 2-over par on a hole.
- A double eagle (very rare) is 3-under par (also called an “albatross”).
- A triple bogey is 3-over par.
