Golf Scorecard Word is a term used to describe the two measurements used to track a golfer's performance on the course. The two measurements are PAR, which stands for 'PAR Amount of Rounds, ' and YARDS, which stands for 'YARDS of Distance.' PAR is a numerical value assigned to each hole on a golf course, indicating the number of strokes a skilled golfer should require to complete the hole. YARDS is the measurement of the length of each hole on the golf course. Together, these two measurements provide a comprehensive overview of a golfer's performance on the course.
