in golf, at the tee what does the SI and accompanying numbers mean?

Answer 1

STROKE INDEX - 1 THRO 18.

If you are an 27 Handicap, You recieve strokes on 2 strokes on SI 1 thr 9, and 1 shot on SI 10 - 18, This totals 28 shots.

Ie a 24 Handicap would get 2 shots on holes 1 - 5 and 1 shot ONLY on holes 6 - 18. This should all upto 24 shots, over 18 holes.

I hope this make sense to you. It will help you score in competitions.

Answer 2

Stroke Index from 1 to 18. 1 being the hardest hole 18 the easiest and so on. Thus if playing stableford with a handicap of say 22 you get 1 shot per hole except for SI 1-4 where you get 2 on each.

Answer 3

SI means shot index. On a 18 hole course you will have a SI from 1 thru to 18. 1 is the hardest hole on the course and 18 is the easiest.

Normally u will also have the number of shots required to meet par (usually 3,4 or 5)

Then you will have the distacnce from the tee to the pin in yards

Answer 4

The Definitions section of the Rules of Golf contains over forty Definitions which form the foundation around which the Rules of play are written. A good knowledge of the defined terms will help in the correct application of the Rules. These include:

Teeing Ground - the starting place for the hole, defined by two tee-markers.
Through the Green - the whole area of the golf course except the teeing ground and putting green of the hole being played and all hazards.
Hazards - any bunker or water hazard.
Putting Green - an area specially prepared for putting and containing a 41/2 inch diameter hole.
Out of Bounds - ground on which play is prohibited i.e. not part of the course. A ball is out of bounds when all of it lies out of bounds.
Loose Impediments - natural objects such as stones, leaves and twigs provided they are not fixed or growing, are not solidly embedded and are not sticking to the ball.
Obstructions - any man-made object, except:
(1) objects defining out of bounds
(2) any part of an immovable man-made object which is out of bounds; and
(3) any construction declared by the Committee in the Local Rules to be an integral part of the course.
Casual Water - any temporary accumulation of water on the course which is visible before or after the player takes his stance (dew and frost are not casual water).
Ground Under Repair - any portion of the course so marked by the Committee. Also includes material piled for removal and a hole made by a greenkeeper, even if not so marked.
