lyöntimäärällä

Lyöntimäärällä is a Finnish term that translates to "by the number of strokes" or "with the stroke count" in English. It is primarily used in sports and games where scoring is based on the number of attempts or actions taken to achieve a goal. The most common context for lyöntimäärällä is golf, where the objective is to complete a course in the fewest possible strokes. Therefore, a player's score is their lyöntimäärällä.

In Finnish golf terminology, "lyöntipeli" refers to stroke play, the most prevalent format in professional and amateur golf. In this format, the player with the lowest lyöntimäärällä over a set number of holes (usually 18 or 72) wins the competition. Other sports or games might also employ this concept, such as certain variations of bowling or games involving target practice where hitting the target with the fewest throws or shots is the goal. The emphasis is always on efficiency and minimizing the actions required to succeed. Understanding lyöntimäärällä is crucial for grasping the rules and scoring systems of these activities in a Finnish context.
