Tiger Woods talks about his milestone victory in the BMW Championship at Cog Hill. Traditionally, a golf hole is either a par-three, -four or -five; some par-six holes exist, but are not usually found on traditional golf courses. Primarily, but not exclusively, the par of a hole is determined by the tee-to-green distance. If the tee-to-green distance on a hole is predominantly downhill, it will play shorter than its physical length and may be given a lower par rating.

Player

Each player acts as marker for one other player in the group, that is, he or she records the score on a score card. The party with the lower score wins that hole, or if the scores of both players and teams are equal the hole is "halved" (drawn). In the case that one team or player has taken a lead that cannot be overcome in the number of holes remaining to be played, the match is deemed to be won by the party in the lead, and the remainders of the holes are not played. The number of major championships a player accumulates in his career has a very large impact on his stature in the sport. These are the four that Bobby Jones won in 1930 to become the only player ever to have earned a Grand Slam. A major result of modern equipment is that today's players can hit the ball much further than previously.

When the game is tied after the predetermined number of holes have been played, it may be continued until one side takes a one-hole lead, and thereupon immediately wins by one hole. The party with the lower score wins that hole, or if the scores of both players and teams are equal the hole is "halved" (drawn). The game is won by the party that wins more holes than the other.
