Paris Olympic Women’s Golf Competition 2024 - Rhythm Rates & Scores for Round 2 only

Le Golf National Paris • FRA Aug 7 - 10, 2024
Interpretation of golf rhythm rate: A positive rhythm rate is when the number of holes scored by the player is greater than the number of holes lost in the rhythm of the course. A negative rhythm rate is when the number of holes scored by the player is less than the number of holes lost in the rhythm of the course. A zero rhythm rate is when the number of holes scored and the number of holes lost are equal. The maximum number of points scored in each hole is 1 point and, conversely, the maximum number of points conceded is -1 point. In a hole where you save par, you usually score 0 points, but depending on the condition of the course or rhythm, you can score 1 point within a certain limit, unlike before. Also, in a hole where a bogey is made, usually 1 point is conceded, but depending on the rhythm situation, the player can prevent the player from scoring 0 points within a certain limit. In a hole where a double bogey or worse is made, under no circumstances can a score of 0 be awarded and 1 point is conceded. In a hole where you make a birdie or more, you can score 0 points or 1 point yourself, as in the past, within a certain limit depending on the rhythm situation, which is significantly different from before. In this way, players can predict the game based on their sense of rhythm about the course and defend against the risk of conceding a goal by appropriately finding holes where they are expected to score or concede a goal. Golfers must fill out the rhythm of each round in a symbol that is common to all on a prescribed rhythm chart form and submit it to the golf course before the game. Unlike before, the game organizer or the golf course determines and reports the overall condition of the course, such as the distance of the hole or the location of the pin, which cannot be changed during the game, before the game throughout all rounds. Unlike before, the individual status of every round is determined and announced before the game, giving golfers the opportunity to create a rhythm schedule that fits the flow of the game in advance. In a game where the player has no choice but to follow the rhythm, the player's opponent is not his or her partner in the same group, but the vast course itself, so golfers can obtain the necessary points while reducing the burden of making birdies or bogeys, and can maintain rhythm even in situations where they concede a point on any hole. Therefore, sometimes you can end up with 0 points, which is a draw in your favor. As a result, each hole can be completed relatively quickly, and the overall game time is naturally reduced significantly compared to the previous case, allowing golfers to leave the golf course relatively early. Golf is about how well each golfer finds its own unique and stable rhythms that have existed since ancient times at each golf course, and who can play the rhythm more smoothly, minimizing potential crises on their own and relying entirely on their own judgment and the sense of their fingertips. It is a smart rhythm game that continuously communicates with the course. In this way, golf can be said to be surfing on the field. Surfing is a phenomenon that has been practiced implicitly by athletes for a long time, not only on the waves and in the wind at the beach, but also on the grass and in the wind on the ground. When the rhythm rate is high or the game is going relatively well, it can be said to be the day when the genius of surfing comes. She is always with us.
