Wikipedia

  1. double bogey

    In golf, par is the predetermined number of strokes that a proficient (scratch, or zero handicap) golfer should require to complete a hole, a round (the sum of the pars of the played holes), or a tournament (the sum of the pars of each round). For scoring purposes, a golfer's number of strokes is compared with the par score to determine how much the golfer was either "over par", "under par", or was "even with/equal to par".Holes are generally assigned par values between three and five based on the distance from the teeing ground to the putting green, and occasionally other factors such as terrain and obstacles. A typical 18-hole golf course will have a total par around 72, and a 9-hole par-3 course (where all holes are rated as par 3) will have a total par of 27.

Examples of double bogey in a Sentence

  1. Billy Foster:

    At the U.S. Open he played great golf to get into the last group with American Dustin Johnson and Oakmont was just one of those courses that if you were slightly out of position you were fighting against a bogey or a double bogey, he got off to a horrendous start, he was five-over after five. The day was over and from then on it was a case of just cheerleading American Dustin Johnson home.

  2. Steven Edmondson:

    We were trying to do something that was simple, net double bogey is better.

  3. Matt Kuchar:

    I played some pretty good golf but got a bad break, i hit a beautiful shot in but it caught a limb and it ended up costing me a double bogey.

  4. Wisconsin Germany Martin Kaymer:

    In 2010 I didn't make many mistakes, I really avoided the big numbers, if you miss the fairways once in a while, you have to accept that that bogey is not a bad score. It's very easy to make double bogey or even worse... in those bunkers, you can have some very strange lies, a strange stance in there.

  5. Ian Poulter:

    I didn't even realize that I had a three-shot lead at that stage but I was in cruise control, shall we say, not making bad swings, i was in position a lot. As I said, you take your foot off the accelerator for one second, all of a sudden you find yourself completely out of position making an easy double bogey.
