Question

Par for a 9-hole golf course is 36. Jim was 3 under par for the first 5 holes. 4 over par for the next 2 holes, and 2 under par for the last 2 holes. What was Jim's score?

Answer 1

Total the amounts he was over and under:

-3 + 4 -2 = -1

Now add that to the total par:

36 - 1 = 35

His score was a 35
