Well, now, let me tell ya about them pars made in that 2023 Masters. Now, you might be wonderin’, how many pars them golfers made? I’ll tell ya, it was a whole lotta ’em, you can bet on that! Over the four days, them golfers were busy out there on that green, strikin’ that little white ball all over the place, and they managed to get 3,029 pars. Yep, you heard me right—3,029 pars! That’s a big ol’ number if you ask me.
Now, I reckon you might not know what a par is, so let me just explain it quick-like. A par is when a golfer gets the ball into the hole in the same number of strokes that they should, based on how long the hole is. So if a hole is a par 3, they should get the ball in the hole in 3 strokes. If they do that, well, that’s a par! Simple enough, ain’t it?
So, let’s talk a little more about the Masters 2023. There were 93 folks out there playin’, some of ’em real good and some not so much, but they all did their best. And those 3,029 pars, well, that was spread out over them four long days. Now, we ain’t talkin’ just about pars, though. Oh no, there were also 880 birdies. What’s a birdie, you ask? Well, that’s when a golfer gets the ball in the hole in one stroke less than par. So, if a hole is a par 4 and they make it in 3 strokes, that’s a birdie. Pretty good, huh?
And let me tell ya, them birdies weren’t easy to come by. In the first round, they made 307 birdies, and in the second round, they hit 391. That’s the most birdies in one round, I reckon. But by the third round, folks were slowin’ down some, and only 155 birdies were made. By the time they got to the last round, though, there was a bit more life in ‘em, and 258 birdies were sunk.
Now, the Masters 2023 was played on Augusta National, that big fancy golf course. Some folks say it’s the toughest course out there, and I reckon they might be right. It’s a par 72 course, which means they expect them golfers to finish the whole course in 72 strokes if they’re playin’ it just right. And let me tell ya, that course is a long one—real long. I’ve heard tell they’ve made it even longer in recent years, just to keep them golfers on their toes.
Ain’t much changed with the course itself this time around, except for one little thing. The tee box at that par-5 second hole was moved back a bit, maybe 10 yards or so. Not a whole lot, but I reckon it makes things just a bit harder for them golfers, especially when they’re tryin’ to get that ball down the fairway.
So, to sum it all up, them 2023 Masters were a fine show. 93 players, 3,029 pars, and plenty of birdies too. The Masters is always somethin’ special, and this year was no different. Whether you’re a golfer or just someone watchin’ for the fun of it, them pars and birdies sure make the whole thing exciting, don’t they?
