Golf Term - What's a Bogey?

A bogey - it is when you shoot above a hole's par.

This means that at a par 3 hole you shoot more than 3; similarly at a par 4 hole you shoot more than 4, and at a par 5 hole you shoot more than 5.

If you score 1 shot above the hole's par, it means you made a bogey. If it is by extra 2 shot, you scored a double bogey; and if you require an additional 3 shots, you have done a triple bogey.

Don't be confused with the word BOOGIE!
