Word of the Day: Par

Par is a word that is regularly used in golf.


Par means the usual standard or usual condition of something.


When used in golf, it means the usual number of strokes a golfer should take to finish a hole or a course.

Golfers can be either over par, under par, or at par.

As I like to remind everyone, the English language is very good at borrowing words from foreign languages.

In this case, par comes from the Latin language and means equal.


This post is understandable by someone with at least a 7th-grade education (age 12).  

On the Flesch-Kincaid reading-ease test, this post scores 73.  

The easier a passage is to read, the higher the score on a scale of 0 – 100.
