BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB)-- With spring having actually started in
Buffalo and the weather condition getting warmer, golf season has begun for gamers to get out on the course.
For more recent players, you may wish to go use some of the simpler courses. For more seasoned players, you may desire a challenge or a brand-new course to try out. But, how do you understand which courses are simpler and more difficult without playing them?
Fortunately, there is a method to know. Courses are ranked by 2 various numbers, Course Rating and Course Slope.
Here is what those 2 groups mean.
Course Slope
The course slope will forecast the difficulty of the course for a bogey golf player, which is someone who would shoot around 18 over the par of the course. The slope can be anywhere from 55 to 155, with 113 being the average. Once again, the greater the number, the harder the course. A number listed below 113 would be an easier-than-average course. Just like course rating, there is a slope for each set of tees.
Course Rating
If a course has a par of 72, the course score might be a 71.7. A score is offered for every set of tees on the course.
