How to Keep Score

Keeping score is an important part of golf. In order to do so you must understand how to keep score. When playin golf you have what is called a scorecard which you use to keep track of your score to par as you play your round. It is important to write your score down after each and every hole so you do not forget what you had on the hole before.

The basic components of knowing how to write down your score are:
Albetrouse or Hole-In-One: Is the best score you can get on any hole and is either 3 or 4 under par depending on what the par is.
Eagle: Is a great score and is 2 under par
Birdie: Is also good and is 1 under par
Par: Is what you want to get on every hole ultimately and is Even
Bogey: Is not bad but it is 1 over par
Double Bogey: Is 2 over par

The scores continue to go on and on depending on what score you get.

*The most important rule in golf is that of you must keep counting your score until you finish the hole no matter how high the score is. You Must be Truthful in the game of golf.
