Bogey – When the number of strokes necessary to sink the ball into a hole is one more than the par. A bogey is a par three hole in which the golfer scores one over par. If the score on a golf course is 100 then a bogey is equal to 101.
Bogey. When a golfer finishes a hole one over par, he or she is said to have made a "bogey." When golfers remark, "I shoot bogey golf," they are referring to an average of one bogey each hole. It's important to note that someone who shoots even or under par does not make a "bogey" score.
Golf is a game that requires precision and skill. Even though someone might have enough muscle memory to be able to hit well, they would still make mistakes if they didn't know what they were doing. Thus, it is possible to make shots that go wrong in many different ways and end up more than one level below where you intended to hit it. This is called having a "bad day at the office" and can happen to anyone—professional players included.
On very rare occasions, someone may shoot exactly five more balls than usual and end up with a total score that is exactly par. The first thing that people usually ask is whether or not they should count their birdies as halves or fulls. The rule is this: If you hit your ball into the rough or off the green and then need to drop down to get it, it's considered one stroke. So, if you've got four strokes left and hit your fifth into the fairway, it's two halves rather than two thirds.
They compare a golfer's performance on a hole to the hole's par: A birdie is a hole score of one under par (for example, scoring 4 on a par-5). A bogey is one stroke over par on a hole. An eagle is a score of two under par on a hole. A double bogey is two strokes over par on a hole. A triple bogey is three strokes over par.
A foursome is two people out of the game. A five-hole "round" is five shots taken at the ball. A six-hole "round" is six shots taken at the ball. A seven-hole "round" is seven shots taken at the ball. An eight-hole "round" is eight shots taken at the ball. A nine-hole "round" is nine shots taken at the ball.
When someone saves your life, they're being heroic. When someone saves your life twice, they're crazy. Triple saves are rare; quadruple saves are unheard of.
It's bad luck to wear black underwear on the first night of a trip. However, if you wear red underwear, then you'll be happy with the outcome.
You should never open a door for someone who is taller than you. If you do so and they take offense then you've just made their day worse.
You should always say "good-bye" even if you aren't sure that you'll see someone again.
An eagle is a hole score of two strokes less than par (two under par, or -2). For example, two shots to finish a par 4 hole or three strokes to complete a par 5 hole. When a golfer hits the ball far enough to reach the green in less strokes than predicted, he or she has made an eagle.
Eagles are the easiest type of hole on which to make one. This is because the distance between the tee and the green is usually not very far, so even if you hit the golf ball slightly off course, it will still likely reach the green in one stroke. By comparison, if you miss the shot completely and the ball goes over the fence or into the water, that's when making an eagle becomes difficult. In these cases, the ball must be retrieved and played from somewhere else.
The number of eagles per round of golf varies depending on the situation at hand but generally speaking, it's about one in 20 rounds. You have better luck making eagles when the golf course has longer holes with more risk and reward involved, since it helps if you actually reach the green in one try. Sports psychologists say that making eagles gives us a sense of accomplishment and success which makes us feel good about ourselves as athletes. Also, they claim that seeing our names next to an eagle box gets us excited for the coming day of play.
Making eagles is important because it shows how well you're hitting the golf ball today.
