I don't think it would be that hard to figure out if 1 guy is finished at 280, another guy is on the 15th hole and is at 270, he needs to play the last 3 holes in less then 10 strokes to win.

I have established what par for me is on my course for each hole. After keeping track of my scores for 3 months and what I score on each hole, I can tell you my par is quite a bit different than par on the card. There are just certain holes that I either always play less then par or over par when compared to par on the card. Knowing this when I step on each tee box has really helped me, as I am now not trying to beat a number on a card but my own personal number.

I'm confused youve created your own par? Based on what, your average score per hole? How do you get better if you've adjusted para way from what was already called out. Just because you make a 7 on a par 5 doesn't mean that's your par. It means you need to work to get to a 5. Not saying you make 7s but you get what I am going after. And unless you are rounding up or down your par should have percentage points.
This line of thinking with out par means you count the number of strokes from the first tee to the 18th hole. All that does is do away with under par or over par rounds. What do you do with penalty shots?
