I have always wondered about this little bit in the scoring of those golf games...

$ is a variable, it is counted as one stroke.

$a is also a variable, but it is counted as 2 strokes... $ab = 3 and so on...

why are we counting the letters of a variable as a stroke? the variable it self is a stroke.

Just like instr() is 1 stroke, vs substr() is 1 stroke, but if i understand the rules, instr() is counted as 7 vs substr() 8.

In real golf, if you putted with a driver, would you add + 3 strokes to that one stroke?
