HOLES OF DIFFERENT NEEDS: WHAT IS STEAM AND WHAT IT EATS?

Beginners on the Golf course are often lost, hearing from a partner incomprehensible word “steam”. Why is a Golf hole marked “par-3” or “par-4” if you can just have fun?

Later, as you gain experience, the player discovers the exciting world of Amateur matches. In some cases, young members of the club have the opportunity to assess their progress by taking part in a local tournament. When participating in the game at the expense of the ability to quickly understand how to quote a particular hole of the Golf course, can serve the player a good service: the referee is also a person who is prone to make mistakes, he can gape or play along with his favorite. Finally, during Golf hole, right priced at a few dictates what club you want to apply for the most accurate shot.

Holes

The term “pair” refers to the conditional number of strokes that must be applied before the hole of the Golf course will be closed by the ball. Based on the distance from tee to green, the number of strokes on the hole is calculated as follows:

par-3-the distance is less than 225 meters, the standard number of strokes-three;
par-4 — a distance of 225 — 434 meters, number of strokes — four;
par-5-distance over 435 meters, the number of strokes-five.
As an exception, there are also 6-steam holes for super-pros, located at a distance of 595 meters from the tee and beyond.

Sometimes, based on the experience of playing Golf, the hole can get steam higher than the prescribed distance, as the presence of a number of serious obstacles significantly complicates the player’s task.

The score for the round is based on the number of strokes. The standard answer to the question, how many holes in Golf and what is the total pair of the field, involves 18 holes, including ten 4-steam holes and four 3-steam and 5-steam holes. Total combined pairs field has 72 strike. In fact, each club decides for itself how many holes in Golf to get, guided by the available opportunities. The only requirement is that the number of holes must be a multiple of nine.

Depending on the golfer’s qualification, the hole of the Golf course may be struck by a greater or lesser number of blows than its pair provides. In such cases the account of blows is conducted with a sign “plus”or ” minus”. Regular visits to the Golf club opens the way to mastery: an experienced player will not be difficult to pass a 5-steam hole with three precisely calculated strokes.
