- Par (golf scoring format)
"This article is about the scoring system "Par", that is commonly used in Australian club golf as an alternative to Stableford and normal stroke play. The Par (score) page provides a general definition of par on a golf hole."
Par is a scoring system used mostly in amateur and club golf. It involves scoring (+, 0, -) based on results at each hole. The objective is to have an end score with more pluses than minuses.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantage of Par is that a few bad holesclarifyme would not completely ruin the whole round.clarifyme Par is also a short-term resolution to slow-play, because once the player cannot play to their adjusted par, they can pick up their ball.clarifyme Par can also restrict scores of the field to within a smaller range.
The Par format's main disadvantage is that there is no reward for a handicap-adjusted eagle (or even better).
