Par- the amount of shots expected to put ball in cup (score 0)

Birdie - putting ball in cup in one shot less than par (score -1)

Eagle- putting ball in cup in two shots less than par (score -2)

Bogey- putting the ball in the cup one shot over par

Double bogey- ball in cup two over par

Drive- First shot of the whole taken from the tee

Fairway- short grass in the middle of the field of play

definition of a par:An amount or level considered to be average;

Answer 4

"Par" is the number of strokes that should be taken to get your ball from the tee (the start) to the hole. The par for most holes of golf is 4. 1 under par is a birdie. So, if you get the ball into the hole on 3 swings of the club on a par 4 hole you got a birdie.

Answer 5

Say you are at a hole that has a sign "Par 5". That means that you have 5 swings to get the ball into the hole. If you can get it in 4 swings, that is called a birdie (or one under par). If you can get it in 3 swings, that is called an eagle. If you get it in 6 swings (one over par) that is called a bogie. And 7 swings is called a double bogie. I'm just an amateur, so there are probably a lot more terms, but that's all I know. Hope it helps.

Answer 6

Par is the number of strokes that it has been determined is appropriate for a particular hole. For example, a hole might be established as a Par 4 hole. This means that you should be able to have the ball in the cup in 4 strokes. If you put it in in 3 strokes (ie 1 stroke under par), then you have made a birdie. If you take 2 strokes to put it in the cup, that is an eagle (ie 2 strokes under par). If you take 5 strokes, that is a bogey (ie 1 stroke over par). If you take 6 strokes, that is a double bogey (ie 2 strokes over par). These are just examples, the real key is the number of strokes over and under par.

Answer 7

A birdie is a score on an individual hole that is one stroke below par. On a par-4, a score of 3 is a birdie; on a par-5, a score of 4 is a birdie; on a par-3, a score of 2 is a birdie.

Answer 8

A birdie is one under par on any hole.

If it takes one more hit, that's a birdie.

one under par



two under is an eagle
