Par for 9 holes can be many values, but typically it is 36 strokes. Of course, if you have a par 3 course, then it will be 27. Normally, 9 holes will have 1 par 3, 1 par 5 and 7 par 4 holes. That totals 36.
In golf, "par" is the expected number of strokes for a hole - or for the entire course (18 holes). This number will vary for each hole, depending on the perceived difficulty of doing it.
For nine holes, you would take half your handicap and subtract it from 18. That total is your goal/hurdle. You get 1 point for a bogey, 2 for a par, 4 for a birdie and 8 for an eagle. At the end of 9 holes, you subtract your total points from your goal, and that is your final score. The person with the highest score wins. Example: you are a 16 handicap. Half your hdcp =8; 18-8 = 10 pts which is your goal/hurdle. If you accumulate, say 13 points, your final score is 13-10 = 3.
Scorecards are divided into two sets of 9. One for the first 9 holes and the other for holes 10 through 18. Little pencils are used to log in how many shots were taken for each hole. After you tee off, keep track of all of your shots and then write down each hole's total shots before starting the next hole. Compare your number of shots to the par of the hole to see how you did. If the first hole is a par 4, and you finished in 5 shots, then you made a bogey, and you are +1 for the round, meaning you are one over par. Remember, the number of shots to make par depends on whether the hole is a par 3, 4 or 5. After the 9th hole, you'll notice a place on the scorecard to record your score on the front 9. Add up your score and compare it to what par is for the front 9. This is also when the erasers come out. Say that par for the front 9 is 36, and you shot a 45. This means your score is 45-36 = +9, or 9 shots over par (for the front 9). Repeat the same process for the back 9, and then add the two scores together to get the total score for the round. Eagle=-2 Birdie=-1 Par=0 Bogey=+1 Double bogey=+2

9 holes usually..............adddd mee!!!
A score of 66 for a 9 hole game of golf is not bad, that basically ranges your shots to about 7 per hole. when the par is usually 3 or 4 on a hole.
9 points
Stableford competitions use a points system to give a points value on each hole, which is then totalled at the end. Firstly a player will be given shots according to their handicap, say their handicap is 9 they will get shots on the holes with stroke index 1-9, on these holes they will get one shot added to par to get the fixed score, points are worked out as follows, 2 or more over fixed score- 0 points, 1 over fixed score- 1 point, fixed score- 2, 1 under fixed score- 3 points, 2 under fixed score- 4 points, 3 under fixed score- 5 and so on. 36 points is level with your handicap. The total is then calculated, and the person with the most points wins.
9
A full round of golf is 18 holes. Some courses are only 9 holes, in which case, the nine holes must be played twice. Any round which is less than 18 holes will not be considered a complete round.
His handicap was scratch at the age of 13 so he was shooting well under par by that stage.
