This can range from 3, up to around 6. This number is known as the par.
Hence, if you were to get the ball in the hole in 4 shots, on a par 5 hole, then you could be said to be one under par. This is also known as a birdie.
i acutally see tim westwood on the front of a golf mag the other week, not sure if his into golf or because of his exessive use of the word "par" they presume his a bad man at golf.
