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.

A Geordie is, like all English, a worthless, dirt-poor piece of scum. Like everyone else in the entire bloody country, they are under the mistaken belief that Newcastle is the finest city in the world, just because they happened to be born there. In its natural habitat, the Geordie can be found staggering around the streets blind drunk at 11 am, picking fights with random people and shrieking unintelligible bullshit at one another. Whilst such behavior would be acceptable in the Scots, being (nominally) English, the Geordie has no excuse. Like the Glaswegian, you don't have to provoke the Geordie to be threatened with violence. They are also the only city in England that gives two shits about their failing football club, widely known to have the most thick-skulled and illiterate morons as supporters. This is apparently the only city south of the Scottish border that the Scots will even acknowledge.
