You get one stroke everytime you hit the ball. Now can play counting total score or play by holes. When you play by holes you when the hole you get 1 you tie 0 and lose -1.
I fun way to learn about golf scores is playing a game called Golo golf. You can play it on line at www.igolo.com
or another site would be www.playgolfamerica.com

In golf every time you hit the ball you add one stroke. In addition if you hit it out of bounds you add an additional stroke. The same thing applys if you have to drop the ball because of an unplayable lie. That means if it is under a bush or in the water hazard. Also if you swing at the ball with the intention of hitting it and miss it,(this is called a wiff) then you have to count that as a stroke.

Each hole on a course has a set score that you are supposed to get (par). It should take either 1, 2, or 3 shots to get to the green and 2 more to putt it in, so holes are either par 3, 4, or 5 depending on the length. Your raw score is just the number of strokes (number of times you hit the ball, plus any penalties) For each hole, if you get a birdie, you did one better than par (instead of getting it in in 4 shots, it took you 3) and bogey is the opposite (instead of getting it in in 4 shots, it took you 5) Eagle is 2 shots under par, double bogey is 2 over par. So a course with 18 holes usually has 4 par 3s, 4 par 5s, and the rest par 4s for a total of 72 (that varies). If you shoot 75, you are 3 over par. The average golfer shoots around 100 everytime they go out, so be patient and practice your short game!

Mollies Daddy is correct...although there are times where you will add strokes as penalties. The rules give you penalty shots in certain situations. Refer to the rules , or your local PGA Professional to learn those instances and rules.

Each time you hit the ball, counts as one "Stroke". Whoever has the least strokes wins.

As my brother-in-law always says, after each green, "I gotta par!" So, just say, Par, which is always always accurate, because Par is a relative term.
