“Bogey” and “double bogey” are terms used in golf to describe the score a player makes on a specific hole. Let's break down each term:
- Bogey: A bogey is a score of one over par on a hole. Par represents the number of strokes a skilled golfer is expected to take to complete the hole. So, if a hole is a par 4, a bogey would be a score of 5. Essentially, a bogey means you took one stroke more than the expected score for that hole.
- Double Bogey: A double bogey is a score of two over par on a hole. Using the previous example, if a hole is a par 4, a double bogey would be a score of 6. It means you took two strokes more than the expected score for that hole.
These terms are used to indicate the relative success or difficulty of a golfer's performance on a specific hole. They can also help track a golfer's overall score during a round.
Bogey, Double Bogey etc.: A score of one stroke more than par on a hole is a bogey; two strokes above par is a double bogey, and so on. For example, a score of 5 on a par 4 hole is a bogey.
