par for the course 

Another way of saying Murphy's Law.

Presumably comes from the cynical idea that one expects something to go wrong and things are going exactly as planned, just using golf as the analogy.

Person one: I'm able to answer the telephone all day and the minute I step out of the house to get the mail, that's when they call!

Person two: Well that's par for the course.

It's par for the course that the second I'm stepping out the door for a date that I get called into work.

just par for the curse 

Merely typical everyday run-of-the-mill profanity that one frequently hears from the potty-mouthed putters on the green --- nothing out of the ordinary.

Swearing is strictly and expressly forbidden on a miniature-golf attraction where children may be present, but on an unsupervised golfing-fairway, foul language is just par for the curse.
