1. Explain the purpose of the game of golf, and discuss the origins of the modern game of rounds and holes.
The game of golf is a recreational sport for those who enjoy accuracy, challenge, character building, nature, and improving ones skill. The game was officially made a sport in St. Andrews, Scotland in 1552 AD when the resources were made available to build an official golf course.
Today, St Andrews, Scotland is known as the “Home of Golf.” After many years, the game has become standardized into 18 holes (which is one round). Each hole consists of a tee box (start point) and the green (where the actual hole is located), separated by some distance. The green is where a flagstick (pin) is placed in a hole as the marker into which the ball needs to be putted. The hole is usually 4.25 inches in diameter, and is at least four inches deep.
The game was later designed for 1 round = 72 strokes (18 holes * 4 strokes).
2. Explain the scoring system in golf.
a. Par
The rule or scoring on each hole is based on par. If the hole is a par 4, then it means 2 strokes from the tee box (start point) to the green (where a flagstick [pin] is placed in a hole as the marker), and two putts on the green to the hole. If the process is done in 4 strokes then one has a par for that hole. All 18 individual holes scores are totaled for the final round total.
b. Ace
c. Albatross or Double Eagle
d. Eagle
e. Birdie
f. Bogey, Double Bogey, Triple Bogey
One-extra stroke par means a bogey (tradition of bogey man made me miss- from a popular music hall song Here Comes the Bogey Man).
Two-extra strokes is a double-bogey and so forth.
