1 The par of a course is the total number of strokes that a course designer assumes it will take a skilled golfer to finish a round, or 18 holes. 2  The par is usually around 70, or three to five strokes per hole. 3  The course rating and course slope are assigned by the United States Golf Association (USGA).
A Clef (from the French for key) is a musical symbol used to indicate the pitch of written notes. Placed on one of the lines at the beginning of the staff, it indicates the name and pitch of the notes on that line.
Standard notation is a very important form of written musical communication. It tells a musician which notes to play, when to play them, and how to play them. When combined with tablature, it is even more powerful. This lesson will show you how to read the pitches of the notes and how to read basic tablature.
