How Golf Is Scored. You can easily see how youre doing because your score is in black and white on the scorecard. Keep an eye on your rating and the scores of the other players in your team.
The scorecard tells you each holes length its par and its rating relative to the other holes see Figure 1. But match play competitions can create some scores that novices might not be familiar with scores that may look odd or use terminology unfamiliar to beginners. The most common scoring system is based on how many strokes are taken per hole which is tallied up at the end of the round with the player that has the lowest score winning the game.
The way to score the most points in this system is to have the most eagles birdies and pars while having fewer bogeys doubles or worse.
Here how the game is scored both in a recreational and com. Golfers compete hole by hole and the golfer who wins the most holes wins the match. And thats your score for the hole. A sphere of golf is played over 18 gaps.
