Standard scratch is calculated by determining the average score of a specific group of golfers, typically using data from a set number of rounds played on a course. This average score is then adjusted based on the course's difficulty, which is often measured through its course rating and slope rating. The goal is to establish a baseline score that represents a competent golfer's performance on that course, allowing for fair comparisons across different players and rounds.

What does SSS mean in golf?

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.


What property of rocks can be determined by discovering whether they scratch glass?

The property of rocks that can be determined by whether they scratch glass is their hardness. This is measured on the Mohs scale, which ranks minerals based on their ability to scratch one another. If a rock can scratch glass, it indicates that its hardness is greater than that of glass, which has a hardness of about 5.5 on the Mohs scale. Conversely, if it cannot scratch glass, it is likely to be softer than this standard.
