Idiom: par for the course

Hi

Seems like the idiom par for the course is pretty common among native speakers? I heard it twice in different films last week.

I took those problems as par for the course.

Would you say it is?

Thanks,

Tom

In the US these types of idioms come and go with current trends. This one had its heyday during the golf boom from around the late 1950s to the 1990s. Today, with the golf boom mostly busted (no big star: no Palmer, no Niklaus, no Tiger), it's losing some of its steam, although it's still heard.
