### In the lessons

In sport and PE, golfers play on a golf course with 18 holes; the score is the number of strokes. In maths, golf scores show that the lowest score wins and use «par» and numbers below or above par (like negative numbers). Phrases: «a professional golfer», «a keen golfer».

### Examples

### Note

Countable. Pronounced «GOL-fer». In golf maths, LOWER is better; «two under par» means two strokes fewer than expected (−2). Safety: stay well away from someone swinging a golf club.
