Golf is played on an eighteen-hole course; each hole has its “par”, which is the number of tee shots (drives), fairway shots, chips (short hits as you approach the green), and putts.

The length and difficulty is where the par number comes from . Pars range from 3 to 6. If you get the ball in the hole in five shots on a par five hole, you “made par” . Now if you go over and make the hole in say 6 shots, that is called a bogie. If you are good and make it in four, that’s called a birdie .

There are usually “hazards” of some sort on all the holes . There are disctractions like water, sand traps, trees, etc that are placed intentionally in the way to make the hole more of a challenge . Since you are just starting out. It’s best to find golf courses that have fewer distractions so you can focus more on your game .
