Total a golf round and express it relative to par.
Golf scores are quoted relative to par rather than in absolute strokes, since par varies by course. Separating out penalty strokes shows how much of a score came from errors rather than ball striking. Penalty strokes typically account for more of an amateur’s score above par than poor putting does, which is why course management matters more than technique.
