Hi Jimmy\n\nA normal round played in a foursome would take roughtly 4 hours.\n\nYou could play alone and do it in about 2.5 hours but you would have to be moving pretty fast with no delays.\n\nLeon

A golf course has 18 holes. Each hole is given a parr rating of 3, 4 or 5. Average course is 72. A pro should do the course in parr (72) or less. \n\nWhen you start playing golf you have an handycap of 28. So you get 28 extra stokes over the 18 holes. \n\nIf you played against a pro and you went round in 100 and they went round in 72 in would be a draw. If you did it in 99 or less you would win.\n\nHaving a handycap allows different rated players to play against each other.\n\nTo lower your handycap, you play 3 rounds of golf at a course and take the average score.\n\n1st game you do it in 98 ( 2 stokes below your expected of 100)\n2nd game you do it in 96 ( 4 stokes below)\n3rd game you do it in 98 again.\n\nyour average would be 97, which is 3 stokes below your handycap of 100. \n\nCourse 72 plus handycap of 28 = 100. now deduct the 3 stokes from your averaged score over your last 3 holes. Now giving you a handycap of 25.\n\nYou keep playing and try to reduce your handycap to as low as poss. The lower your handycap score the better golfer you become.

You're right. If you're super good and hit 18 hole in one, that's the only 18 shots you'll get to play!!!?!??

Some tournaments take the low 68 players and ties.  Other tournaments take anyone within so many strokes of the leaders 10 and or the top 68

I read this is a magazine last year, The average amount a person who plays all 48 minutes is 3.75 miles

Its really hard to say because all courses are different lengths and widths, but a fair average would be in the area of 6,500,000 sq yards.\n\nA golf course would consume about the same area as a football stadium with surrounding parking lots.\n\nThis would make a golf course about 2 sq miles.

The greater the number the smaller the chances, yes chances are you can hit a hole in one in 3500 hits but to hit 3 holes in one in 50 rounds it's impossible, maybe in 50 million rounds but it will take you maybe 70 years to do it..☺

The max is 14, if you start with less than 14 you can add clubs until you hit 14 during the round.  You can not share clubs, unless it's with a partner.  When you share clubs you cannot have more than 14 between the people sharing.  starting around knowing you have more than 14 clubs is DQ.  Not knowing is 2 strokes per hole with a max of 4 strokes.  Matach play loss of hole max 2.  That is how someone can be 4 holes ahead after only playing 2.  \n\n\n   a. Selection and Addition of Clubs\nThe player must start a stipulated round with not more than 14 clubs. He is limited to the clubs thus selected for that round except that, if he started with fewer than 14 clubs, he may add any number provided his total number does not exceed 14.\nThe addition of a club or clubs must not unduly delay play (Rule 6-7) and the player must not add or borrow any club selected for play by any other person playing on the course.\n b. Partners May Share Clubs\nPartners may share clubs, provided that the total number of clubs carried by the partners so sharing does not exceed 14.\nPENALTY FOR BREACH OF RULE 4-4a or b, \nREGARDLESS OF NUMBER OF EXCESS CLUBS CARRIED: \nMatch play ;— At the conclusion of the hole at which the breach is discovered, the state of the match is adjusted by deducting one hole for each hole at which a breach occurred. Maximum deduction per round: Two holes.\nStroke play — Two strokes for each hole at which any breach occurred; maximum penalty per round: Four strokes.\nBogey and par competitions — Penalties as in match play.\nStableford competitions — see Note 1 to Rule 32-1b. \n c.

The player must not use the club or clubs for the remainder of the stipulated round. \nPenalty For Breach Of Rule 4-4c:\nDisqualification.\n\n\nQ. A player starts a round with 15 clubs. He discovers his error at the 2nd tee after his opponent or a fellow-competitor has played but before he has played. Does the player incur the maximum penalty of (a) deduction of two holes in match play or (b) four strokes in stroke play?\n\nA.

The standardization of 18 holes for a round of golf can be credited to St. Andrews golf course in Scotland.\n\nPrior to the mid-1760s - and right up until the early 1900s - it was common to find golf courses that were comprised of 12 holes, or 19, or 23, or 15, or any other number.\n\nThen, around 1764, St. Andrews converted from 22 holes to 18 holes. The reason? Well, everyone knows 18 holes are easier to take care of than 22!

Greetings ...\n\nThe Masters 36-hole cut is to the Low 44 scorers plus any ties among the Low 44 plus any player within 10 strokes of the lead.\n\nIn this year's (2006) Masters, Chad Campbell led after 36 holes with a score of 138 (6-under-par). All players with a score of 148 (4-over-par) or better advanced to the final 36 holes. There was a total of 47 such players, including Mr. Campbell.\n\nIf Chad Campbell had finished his first 36 holes one stroke higher IE 139 (5-under-par), then 7 players at 149 (5-over-par) would also have advanced to the final 36.\n\nThanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Golf

How Do I Keep Score?\nScoring in golf is sometimes a mystery to those unfamiliar with the sport because in golf - unlike most other sports and games - it's the person with the lowest score who wins. \nBut golf scoring is as simple as can be. Every time you take a whack at that little white ball, that's a stroke. Every time you make a stroke, count it. At the end of each hole, add up your strokes for that hole and write it down. At the end of the round, add up the strokes for each hole and, there you have it, your golf score.\n\nThere are some other circumstances - for instance, every beginner (every golfer of every level) will have to take penalty strokes here and there. At least, if you're playing strictly by the rules.\n\nBut most simply put, a golf score is the number of times you whacked that little ball around the course.\n\nScore in relation to par is also very easy to understand and compute. Each hole is given a number representing "par" - the number of strokes it should take a golfer to finish that hole. If the par is 4 and you make a 5, then your score in relation to par is 1-over. If the par is 4 and you make a 3, then your score in relation to par is 1-under.\nIf par for the course is 72 and you finished with a 92, then your score is 20-over.\n\nFor penalties, read the rules of golf.

Tiger played really well all week. He hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens. Yesterday, unfortunately, his putter abandoned him. During the first 3 days, he averaged around 26 putts/round. Yesterday, he needed 33 putts. In fact, I can almost guarantee that, as he was finishing his round yesterday, he was thinking that he should have won the tournament by about 4-5 shots.

It depends on what you call "present" day golf, but here is the short answer.\n\nArt Wall has the most recorded holes in one of any PGA Tour Professional, 46, however not all were recorded in competition.  Art played the tour through the 70's.  \n\nDave Stockton is believed to have the second most, having made 26, again not all in competition.  Dave played on the tour through the 80's.

8,369,863 I took the number of golf courses, rounds played per day, and I did some averaging on how many would lose a ball.\n\nThe average golfer score is over 106 and they lose over 4 golf balls, but they also find two or three during the round.  My number is the gross.

Hello Clay\n\nThere are basic rules for determining par for a single hole.\n\nnormally under 250 yards is a par 3\n\nover 250 and less then 450 is a par 4\n\nover 450 is normally a par 5\n\nThere are some special cases but these are the norms..\n\nI hope this answers your question .\n\nLeon

You need to be able to hit all the clubs.  There are plenty of golf holes that require a longer drive.  If you only drive the ball 210 yards, you will never have a chance to reach a par five in two for example.  For me, I'm most happy with a slight draw because I know that when the ball hits the ground it is going to run.  \nMaybe what you need is a new driver with a little more loft to get the ball flying through the air a little longer?  Or perhaps try teeing the Calloway up a little higher and playing it more toward your left foot?  Not sure what you are doing now but just a couple things to think about.  With a 200 yard 5-wood, you should expect more out of your driver.
