Not looked at it but would guess around 6-8 per round. Trouble is I am chucking some big numbers in on a couple of holes per round which with the odd double and bogies means I am struggling to make buffer zones by a shot or two.
Pars against handicap....

On Sunday I made 10 pars.
For fourteen holes I was 4 over par.
On the other 4 holes I totalled 10 over par.

I doubt there is anyone on here who doesn't fancy themselves to par at least one par 3 , 4 and 5 a round.
The one thing I know is that the lower the handicap then the more par's you expect to make with a few birdies to compensate for a few bogie holes. One thing for sure is that it's easier to make bogie than to make par.

HowDidIdo allows you to see stats for each cat of golfer to compare against your own (it's on the HowDidIDo analysis)
Cat 1 pars 52.83% - approx 9/10 pars
Cat 2 pars 38.04% - approx 7 pars
Cat 3 pars 22.80% - approx 4 pars
Cat 4 pars 11.40% - approx 2 pars
My average was 29.72 (5 pars). Which as a 12h/cap seems about right - i.e between cat 2 and cat 3 averages.
(Hope the maths is right)

Have a quick scan of HDID over past couple years and although I haven't done especially well in comps, I guess, its reasonably representative. Least pars was 1, most was 6. But 3 and 4 cropped up an awful lot and in roughly equal measure with 5 not far behind. Therefore average of a bit under 4 for playing off 20

This! Exact same process for me, tend to average 10-12 pars per round and my score is totally dependent on what happens on the other 6-8 holes. Usually bank on 2 birdies, it's keeping the blobs away that makes the real difference
. Once had 18 pars in a round, felt like Faldo

I know that normally I will get a fair number of pars in a round, the thing that determines how good the score is, is what I do on the other holes.
This is best demonstrated in a round near the end of last season where I had 8 pars and a birdie, but also 3 doubles and 2 quintuples. Hence my aim for 2014, to play a qualifier with nothing worse than a bogey. If I can achieve this my handicap will definitely fall.
