Golf Score Terms: What is a Double Bogey in Golf?

Based on the score a golfer shoots and the assigned difficulty rating of the golf course they played, they will get a "handicap".

When a match is "all square", that means that two golfers are tied.

Aggregate score is the cumulative score a golfer holds over multiple rounds and is most common in golf tournament scoring.

An ace, also known as a "hole in one" is when a golfer makes their tee shot. This is most common on par 3 holes.

A birdie in golf is a golf term to describe a score made on a golf hole where the golfer takes one stroke less than the designated par for the hole.

Marked with white stakes, out-of-bounds areas on the course require the golfer to re-hit and add 2 penalty strokes to their score.

Similar to course rating, the slope rating is an approximation of how difficult a course will play for a high handicapper, or "bogey golfer".

An albatross describes a score of 3 under the designated par for the golf hole.

A hole-in-one, also known as an "ace" is when you hit a shot from the tee box and make it in the hole.
