Well, let me tell you somethin’ ’bout that there Masters golf thingy in 2023. You wanna know how many pars, right? It’s a whole lotta pars, that’s for sure.
Folks keep countin’ these pars, and they say there was, hold on a sec, gotta remember this big number, 3029 pars in the whole darn tournament. Yep, 3029! That’s a heap of times them fellas just hit the ball and got it in the hole with the right number of whacks, not too many, not too few.
Now, think about it, there were 93 players hittin’ them balls, and they played for four days. That’s a lot of chances to make a par, see? And all them fellas, they just kept on par-ing holes. Left and right, all over the place. They parred here, they parred there, pars everywhere!
- First off, them players, they gotta hit the ball just right. Not too hard, not too soft, gotta get it on that green grass.
- Then, they gotta putt it in. That’s the tricky part, makin’ that little ball roll right into that little hole.
- And if they do it just right, they get a par. That means they did it in the number of shots they were supposed to.
Thirty-oh-two-nine pars, that’s a big number. Makes your head spin, don’t it? It ain’t like countin’ eggs or chickens, that’s for sure. This here is serious business, this golf.
Now, some folks, they get birdies, that’s when they do it one shot better than par. And some, they get bogeys, that’s one shot worse. But most of the time, these fellas just keep on par-ing.
They say in them four days of Masters 2023, there was a whole bunch of birdies too. Like 880 of ‘em. That’s a whole heap more birdies than the year before, they say. But still, pars are the king. More pars than anything else.
Pars are important, you see. It means you ain’t losin’ no shots. You ain’t messing up. You’re just steady, like a good ol’ mule. Just keepin’ on, one par at a time. And if you get enough pars, well, you might just win that green jacket, or whatever it is they win. I ain’t never seen one of them jackets up close, but I hear it’s fancy.
They got all sorts of ways of countin’ things in golf, it seems. Strokes gained this and strokes gained that. But to me, pars are the easiest to understand. You hit the ball, you get it in the hole, and if you do it in the right number of shots, boom, you got a par. Simple as that.
So there you have it. 3029 pars in the 2023 Masters. That’s a whole lot of hittin’ and puttin’. And those fellas, they sure did a lot of it. Makes you wonder how many balls they go through in a week, huh?
Makes you wonder how they keep track of all them pars, too. Somebody’s gotta be writin’ ’em down, I reckon. Or maybe they got some fancy machine that does it. I ain’t too sure about all that newfangled technology. But I know a par when I see one, that’s for sure.
And this Jon Rahm fella, he won the whole shebang. Shot a 69 on the last day, they say. And he was 12 under par for the whole tournament. That means he got a lot of birdies and not too many bogeys. And he probably got a whole bunch of pars, too. You can’t win without pars, that’s just the way it is. Pars are the backbone of the game, like the foundation of a good, sturdy house. You gotta have that foundation to keep everything else from fallin’ apart.
Now, they say a regular golf course, it has a par of 72. That means you should get 72 shots if you play everything just right. But these Masters fellas, they’re playin’ on a fancy course, so the par might be a bit different. But whatever it is, they got 3029 pars in total. That’s a fact, just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
So, next time you hear someone talkin’ about the Masters, you can just pipe up and say, “Hey, I know how many pars there were in 2023! There were 3029 of ‘em!” And folks will be impressed, they’ll think you know a thing or two about golf, even if you don’t know a putter from a driver. Just remember that number: 3029. That’s a whole lot of pars, and it’s the answer to your question.
