Bogey – Par is the number of strokes it should take a golfer to complete a hole or round of golf.  A golfer’s score is compared with the par score.  A score of 1-over par on any individual hole on a golf course. Golf holes are typically rated as par-3, par-4 or par-5, so making a bogey means:

• Scoring 4 on a par-3 hole
• Scoring 5 on a par-4 hole
• Scoring 6 on a par-5 hole

Handicap – Refers to a number representing a golfer’s playing ability.  The lower a golfer’s handicap, the better the golfer plays.  For example, a +2 handicapper, golfs better than a +10 handicapper.

Under-par – Par is the number of strokes it should take a golfer to complete a hole or round of golf.  A golfer’s score is compared with the par score.  If a course has a par of 72 and a golfer takes 70 strokes to complete the course, the golfer’s reported score is -2, or “2-under-par”.  Anything under-par is considered very good in golf.
