Answer

"par for the course" is an English idiom meaning 'what one would expect'.  For a full explanation see here: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/par+for+the+course

It's basically taken literally from golf, where the 'par for the course' is the score that one would expect a good, club, player to be able to achieve on that course.
