The hole is represented by a way along the standard playing path from tee area to the green.
How to map
Draw a way from the
tee
to the pin
and add golf=hole
.
You can add
ref=*
- number of the holepar=*
- number of strokes normally required for this holedist=*
- the distance of the holehandicap=*
- difficulty ranking of a hole in a golf course from 1 to 18, used to determine the allocation of handicap shotsname=*
- (rare) the common name of the hole, if there is one. Hole number belongs toref=*
Unless a golf hole has an actual name, use ref=*
For example, the Masters Golf Course in Augusta, Georgia, USA, not only assigns numbers to their golf holes, but specific names are assigned to each one;
Hole 1 – Tea Olive, Hole 2 – Pink Dogwood, etc.
In this case, both ref=*
and name=*
would be tagged on the golf hole. The tag ref=*
would be used to describe hole numbers while the tag name=*
would be used for the name of each hole.
If a hole does not have an actual name, ref=*
is sufficient.
If values (par, handicap, dist) differ for different colour references, subkeys are in use, e.g.: par:red=*
or handicap:blue=*
.
