Other golf tips and information

The object of the game is to get the ball in the cup with the least amount of strokes. The fewer strokes used to get the ball in the cup, the lower the score. The main objective is to complete the course in the least amount of strokes.

The only way you will accomplish this – completing the course in the least amount of strokes, is through practice, and with Emperor of Golf’s online map system. No matter where you find yourself, you will be able to locate the nearest course, see what the green fees are and make a booking to tee off before the sun sets. Without practise, all the golf tips in the world won’t be able to better your game.

The course is the location where you play the game. A golfing course consists of eighteen holes, each hole unique from the other and consists of par 3, 4 and 5. The par refers to the amount of strokes you will need to play to get the ball in the cup.

Par three – the shortest hole and the distance differ from between 100 to 200 meters from the tee to the green. Par four - a bit longer than the par three and the distance is between 250 to 400 meters. Par five - this is the longest hole and distance from the tee to the green. A player uses about three strokes to get to the green. If you are a novice at the game you should consider playing a par three course for a while until you are comfortable with the game.

Being a member of the Emperor’s club provides you the benefit of first hand information on the course; what each hole consists of; the slopes of the green, and water hazards etc.
