To score stroke versus par, you compare the number of strokes a player takes on a hole or an entire round to the established par for that hole or round. Each hole has a par value, which is the expected number of strokes an expert golfer would need to complete it. If a player takes fewer strokes than par, they have a negative score (e.g., birdie or eagle), while taking more strokes results in a positive score (e.g., bogey or double bogey). The overall score is the total number of strokes taken minus the total par for the course.
A birdie is one stroke under par on a given hole.
A bogey on a par 4 hole means a golfer completes the hole in one stroke over par. Therefore, if a player makes a bogey, their score for that hole would be 5 strokes.
An eagle is two strokes under par, a birdie is one stroke under. An eagle is a better score.
One stroke less than par is referred to a a BIRDIE.
A birdie is a hole played one stroke under par.
In golf, the term "bogie" refers to a score of one stroke over par on a hole. For example, if a golfer completes a hole in five strokes on a par-4 hole, they would have a bogey. Bogies are common in golf and are a challenge for players to avoid in order to score lower.
A bogey is one stroke over par.
