What is a perfect game in golf?

Answer 1

Most golfers tend to call a birdie on every hole, "perfect." But, this is demonstrably false because perfect, by definition, cannot be improved upon, and people HAVE improved upon 18 under par.

A TRUE perfect game would be 18. A hole in one on every hole. It's never been done before, but it IS achievable in theory. It's the absolute best you can do, which would make it a perfect game.

Of course, by lowering the standards of perfection, you can be perfect at everything you do. The official "perfect" game in Golf is a slippery slope. By their logic, my 198 in Bowling is a perfect game.

Answer 2

To me, just playing the game is perfect in itself....
