What is a "bogey"?
A bogey in golf is when a player completes a hole in one stroke more than par, which is the standard number of strokes for that hole. For example, if a hole is a par 4, a bogey means completing it in 5 strokes. Scoring a bogey is not ideal, as it adds extra strokes to the player's overall score. However, it is still considered a relatively common result, especially on more difficult holes. Players aim to avoid bogeys and strive to complete holes in par or better.
