Par, meaning to match the number of strokes expected for a hole.
Each hole at golf has a standard number of strokes (number of times the ball is hit) to get it in the hole. This number is called Par, taken from the par value of stock. For example, if the standard number of strokes for a hole is four, it is called a Par four hole. If a player gets the ball in the hole in one less than (one under) Par, it is called a Birdie. Legend has it that a famous player's ball hit a bird in mid-air and he then completed the hole in one stroke under and the term Birdie was born. Making the hole in two strokes under Par is a larger bird so it's called an Eagle. Three strokes under Par an Albatross, because an Albatross is such a rare bird. If you take one more stroke than Par it's call a Bogey, after the Bogey Man. Two strokes over is a Double-Bogey. Three is a Triple-Bogey.
3 under par on a given hole. Also known as an albatross.
63 strokes
Par is the average. Used very often about golf strokes taken for a certain hole. A par 3 hole is a hole where the average number of strokes to complete is 3.

It is admitting that you cannot beat or equal your opponents score, no further strokes will be played on that hole.
No, it's just however many you take. The people you're golfing with may have a rule to keep the game moving quickly, but there is no official rule.
In golf there is a certain number of strokes or hits of the ball that is required to finish the hole in, this is called par. If a person gets the ball into the hole one stroke or ball hit under par this is called birdie. It means you completed the hole faster than the average completion rate for the hole.
In golf, the "foe" would be the number of strokes needed to get the ball into the hole. You're competing to see who can do that in the fewest number.
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.
In golf, the term "bogie" refers to a score of one stroke over par on a hole. For example, if a golfer completes a hole in five strokes on a par-4 hole, they would have a bogey. Bogies are common in golf and are a challenge for players to avoid in order to score lower.
