Lyöntimäärät

Lyöntimäärät refers to the number of strokes taken to complete a hole or a round of golf. In golf, the objective is to get the ball into the hole with the fewest possible strokes. Each swing of the club that moves the ball counts as one stroke. Penalties, such as those incurred for hitting the ball out of bounds or into a water hazard, also add to the total lyöntimäärät.

The score in golf is typically represented by the total number of strokes taken over 18 holes. This total is then compared to the par of the course, which is the predetermined number of strokes a skilled golfer is expected to take to complete the course. A score lower than par is considered good, while a score higher than par indicates a less successful performance. Individual holes also have pars, usually ranging from 3 to 5.

Understanding lyöntimäärät is fundamental to playing and scoring in golf. Players aim to minimize their lyöntimäärät on every hole to achieve a low overall score. This involves strategic shot selection, accurate hitting, and effective putting. Tracking lyöntimäärät is essential for determining rankings in tournaments and for personal improvement. Different formats of golf, such as match play, may use different scoring methods, but the concept of counting strokes remains central.
