What is five under par? means hole in one on a par 6 hole?

Question

What is five under par? means hole in one on a par 6 hole?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. When it's said that a person is five under par, it's cumulative, so it's possible they got birdies on five different holes.

Answer 2

I dont think I've ever heard of or seen a par 6 hole.  Par 5 is the farthest I've heard of.  

5 under par refers to the total on more than one hole.  If you get a -1 on 5 straight holes, you got a 5 under par.

Answer 3

Who knew Par 6s existed in the golf world? Probably need to go driver-driver 1-2 off the tee on these holes:

1.  Meadow Farms Golf Course, Locust Grove, Virginia, #12, 841 yards, par 6

2.  Spring Lake Golf Resort, Sebring, Florida, #6, 800 yards, par 6

3.  The Links Golf Course, Post Falls, Idaho, #9, 777 yards, par 6

4.  Farmstead Golf Links, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, #18, 767 yards, par 6

5.  Black Mountain Golf Club, Black Mountain, North Carolina, #17, 747 yards, par 6

6.  Turquoise Valley Golf Course, Naco Arizona, #15, 747 yards, par 6

7.  The Gallery Golf Club, Marana, Arizona, #9, 725 yards, par 5

8.  Ashley Plantation Golf Course, Daleville, Virginia, #14, 721 yards, par 6

9.  Promontory Golf Course, Park City, Utah, #3, 720 yards, par 5

10.  Fighting Joe Course at The Shoals, Muscle Shoals, Alabama, #12, 716 yards, par 5

Yes Par 6's do exist.  However as you can see  there is less than no chance for an ace on a par 6

Answer 4

Not possible. There is no such thing as a par 6.

Answer 5

Ill add one more par 6 to that list here in Australia..

No:12 Coral Cove Resort, Bundeburg, Australia.

But yeah 5 under par is accumulative score, round a certain number of holes... Its very possible to be 5 under par in 2 holes, ok very highly unlikely but its possible. Albatross (hole-in-one on a Par 4, or 2 shots on a Par 5) then Eagle (Hole-in-one Par 3 or 2 shots on a Par 4, or 3 shots on a par 5)

Answer 6

Par is average for that hole.   A par three should take most regular golfers 3 strokes to get it in the hole.

A 5 under par means you got 5 less shots than average for the course.  You may have been over par (bogey) on a hole,  under par (birdie) on others,  but they averaged out to 5 under for the entire game.  

5 under is pretty good if you are a golfer.

Answer 7

5 under par is like average u play 72 shots on a golf course but u play 67 shots then ur play like better than the course shots
