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.
