Here's how to talk to your child about it
After watching the video, you learned that in golf, "par" is the expected number of strokes for a hole. Birdie is under par, eagle is 2 under, and bogey is over par.

Some activities you can do with your child now
- Practice putting with your child using a toy golf set to help them understand hitting the ball into the hole like in the video. - Create a mini golf course at home using household items and have your child practice getting the ball into each "hole" to reinforce the concept of par. - Encourage your child to count the number of strokes it takes to get the ball in the hole, just like they learned about par in the video. - Ask your child to draw a picture of a golf course with different holes labeled as par 3, par 4, and par 5 to reinforce their understanding of these terms.

Game Name: Golf Score Challenge Instructions: Take turns with your child to guess the par score for each hole at a mini-golf course. Celebrate if you score below par (birdie), aim for an eagle (2 below par), and try to avoid a bogey (1 over par). Fun way to learn golf terms and practice math!

1 take away from the video for your child
"Strive to meet expectations in golf and in life. Achieving par means meeting the standard, going beyond is a birdie, falling short is a bogey."
