Re: [Audyssey] A Couple Questions Regarding Golf
You're right, but the term is par, not pa. Pa is the husband of a ma. Also, have you sent your golf course to Jim to be included in the game? If so, which one is it? I'd like to play it.

Firstly pa, is how many strokes you get to complete the hole in, the more you can stay under this the better. For instance, if a hole's pa is 5 strokes, you will get a birdy if your one under, an eagle two under and a double eagle three under. At the end when you've played all 18 holes your pa, ie, how many strokes you've used over all 18 is compared to the total over all holes, and if your under, well you've succeeded. if your under by a good amount, then your score is good. just play a couple of courses in Jim's golf game and you'll quickly get an idea of what pa is and how it works. As to difficulty yes, the higher the number the more difficult to keep the ball streight, and the more likely it'll e to head off the fareway. I must admit in the course I made, I rather over estimated the difficulty value so some of the holes ended up a lot more tricky than I planned, (I wanted the course hard, but probably not that! hard), but now at least I know for next time.

Re: [Audyssey] A Couple Questions Regarding Golf
Hi Kelly, I am sure the total par of a course of 18 holes is 72. If you divide 72 by 18 you get 4. So in designing a course you should have the same amount of par 3 holes as par 5 and most of the holes should be par 4. If you want a par 6 hole, then you should have two par 3 holes to balance the course out. What par is on each hole is based on the distance, so shorter distances should be par 3 and the longest ones should be par 5. Of course you can design anything you want but those rules guide official golf courses. Here is from the Golf Wiki: A hole is classified by its par, meaning the number of strokes a skilled golfer should require to complete play of the hole.[8] For example, a skilled golfer expects to reach the green on a par-4 hole in two strokes: one from the tee (the 'drive') and another, second, stroke to the green (the 'approach'); and then roll the ball into the hole in two putts for par. This would be termed a 'green in regulation' golf. A hole is either a par-3, par-4 or par-5. Par-6 holes are extremely rare. The key factor for classifying the par of a hole is the distance from the tee to the green. A typical par-3 hole is less than 250 yards in length, with a par-4 hole ranging between 251 and 475 yards, and a par-5 hole being longer than 475 yards. The rare par-6 can stretch well over 650 yards. Eighteen-hole courses may typically comprise four par-3, ten par-4, and four par-5 holes, though other combinations exist and are not less worthy than courses of a total par-72. Many major championships are contested on courses playing to a par of 70, 71, or 72. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A Couple Questions Regarding Golf
Hi Kelly, Par is the target number for each hole. I believe that you should be Abel to hit on to the green two under par. And I also believe that all 18 hole golf courses add up to a 72 par. You will hear golf scores as under or over par. Now for each hole, a birdie is one under par, an eagle is two under par, a double eagle is three under par and of course a hole in one is the best. A bogie is one over par and a double bogie is two over par. I do not believe, but maybe people will say triple bogie or quadruple bogie, but my game just says, an awful shot, that is anything worse than a double bogie. For some reason the difficulty seems reversed. That is the lower the number the more difficult the hole is. I hope that helps. BFN Jim Why did the bird cross the kitchen?

Re: [Audyssey] A Couple Questions Regarding Golf
hi. well the number of par as I understand it is the number of moves required to achieve a sertain objective in this case the hole in that number of moves. 1 hole in one 1 move. Its hard but on some short courses off 100-122 yards its possible you can hit it if you can get a lucky shot. Birdy. 2 or more moves. Egel. I think this is 4 or is birdy 3 or more and egal is 2. I never got a double at all so I presume its almost impossable. Par is well the number of moves you set so if par then you are even. A hogy and double hogy basically means you are under par by 1 and 2 shots respectively. An awefull shot basically means you are so far under par 3 or more moves that you basically have lost the round. Though 1 or 2 under is quite bad at least you are still getting something. Your objective really is to get less than the score eg if score=79 then that number or less if possible is good more is bad. If the score is lower 56 is the lowest I have seen it gets harder the lower it gets. Basically its all the pars added up will equal the rating number.
