Performance Task: Par – The Mini-Golf Way!
Glenfields Secondary School has just built an 18-hole mini-golf course.
Students will operate the course. Profits will go to charity and to the school
community.
The students at Glenfields Secondary School celebrated the opening of their
new mini-golf course by holding a tournament. The tournament had 4 rounds.
In golf, par has a special meaning. If an 18-hole mini-golf course is a par 52,
this means an exceptional golfer might complete all 18 holes with 52 strokes.
Most golfers take more strokes than par. Some golfers take fewer strokes than par.
•
A round of 0 means the golfer took exactly 52 strokes
to complete one round of this course.
•
A round of 57 is 5 strokes above par.
The score for this round is +5.
•
A round of 50 is 2 strokes below par.
The score for this round is –2.
A lower score means a better result.
In a tournament, scores from the rounds are added together.
If a player has rounds of 53, 55, 56, and 50, the total number of strokes for all 4
rounds is the sum of 53, 55, 56, and 50 which is 214.
The scores compared to par for the 4 rounds are +1, +3, +4, and –2. The total score
for the tournament is the sum of +1, +3, +4, and –2 which is +6.
Par for 4 rounds is 4 times par, or 4 × 52 = 208. So a score of +6 compared to par
means that the total number of strokes was 6 more than the par score for 4 rounds.
The score compared to par for the 4 rounds is 208 + 6 which is 214.
NEL
•
The following table shows the total number of strokes taken by the 6 players
in each round.
•
Par for each round is 52 strokes.
•
The player with the lowest score wins the tournament.
