Best Answer

Standard Scratch score STANDARD SCRATCH SCORE The Standard Scratch Score or SSS is the mechanism used to handle the relative difficulties of different courses. A course of 'average' difficulty with par 72 has a SSS of 72. You will see that Downshire with a par of 73 has an SSS of 71 off the white tees in Summer. What this tells you is that it is an easier course than average. A scratch player would be expected to go round in 71, not 73. The Edinburgh course at Wentworth is an example of a much more difficult course. It has a par of 72 but an SSS of 74. If you go round there in 74 you are doing well.
