# Shooting 109 in golf

A 109 on a par 72 is 37 over par and 19 strokes worse than bogey golf. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 it is worth a Score Differential of 34.7, so a golfer whose good rounds are 109 holds an index near 34.7, and a golfer whose average round is 109 holds one nearer 30 to 32.

## Key figures

- A 109 on a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 is a Score Differential of 34.7; on a championship tee rated 74.2 with a slope of 138 it is 28.5.
- The benchmark model reads a 109 as 38 strokes over the tour average, 24.7 of them in the long game.

## Scope

- The differentials apply the published World Handicap System formula to typical tee values; the split of strokes is the site’s benchmark model, Broadie’s published shares applied to the strokes over the tour average.
