Carding pars? #1 (permalink) Tue Mar 07, 2006 8:09 am   Carding pars?		  
What does this word "card" mean when people say "carding pars"? My dictionary says "par" means "The average score based on how a professional golfer would play the hole". But what's carding? Confused

How is it being used in context? Do you have an example sentence or two?

Oh, yes. What I read was "Golfer A is carding pars and steady bogeys." And, "In the end, golfer A had carded a thirteen to golfer B's four."

Actually, apart from "card", I don't understand what "steady" means here, either. Is it a verb or adjective? And what's "carded a thirteen to"? Confused

Being as I am totally uninitiated in golf, I’m not qualified to decipher such specialised terminology. Yet, according to the following definitions, the word ‘card’ here seems to be used as a verb for ‘score’: Golfer A is scoring pars...

card – n. (golf) a record of scores (as in golf); "you have to turn in your card to get a handicap"

score·card - n. a small card used to record one's own performance in sports such as golf.

Steady (stable, even, unchanging) is used as an adjective here.
Quote:
And what's "carded a thirteen to"?

As I understand it:

In the end, golfer A had scored a thirteen as compared to golfer B's four."

I can't be more specific, I'm afraid.
