What is an eagle in golf? Birdie?
"Par" (PAR): The number of shots into the hole is the same as the par
"Birdie": 1 stroke below par
"Eagle" (EAGLE): 2 under par
"BOGEY" (BOGEY): The number of strokes is 1 more than the par
There are three types: par 3, par 4, and par 5
The distance of each fairway determines how many par holes the hole is.
A par 3 hole, a hole in 3 par, is called a par.
Generally speaking, two puts on the green are standard. A par 3 is to hit the green with one stroke on serve, and then two puts. This is the par.
If only 1 putt is used and the total number of strokes is only 2 strokes, which is one stroke less than the par, then it is a birdie.
The same goes for par 4, two shots to the green, two pushes on the green. A total of 4 strokes is a par.
Par 5 holes, three shots to the green, two greens, a total of 5 strokes, par.
For professional players, they especially like to play par 5 holes because they play a long distance.
It's easier to hit the par 5 green in two strokes, and then two putts for a total of 4 strokes, which is a birdie.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be two pushes. In short, no matter what method is used, as long as the hole is finished by one stroke less than par, the score of the hole will be -1, which is a birdie.
