Huh?
Platinum Golfer, originally uploaded by jalalspages.
Hey, how come when a person thinks something is of poor quality, he calls it "below par"? Shouldn't something that is bad be "above par"? As a golfer, you want to get a score that is below par; but as a worker, you don't want your work to be below par.
This is the strange nature of golf. Unlike almost every other sport, the lower the score, the better. It doesn't make sense to the average person. And so, it flummoxes the average person - below par is good??? I don't get it!
Then my head explodes.
