# Shooting 77 in golf

A 77 on a par 72 is 5 over par and 13 strokes better than bogey golf. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 it is worth a Score Differential of 5.8, so a golfer whose good rounds are 77 holds an index near 5.8, and a golfer whose average round is 77 holds one nearer 1 to 3.

## Key figures

- A 77 on a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 is a Score Differential of 5.8; on a championship tee rated 74.2 with a slope of 138 it is 2.3.
- The benchmark model reads a 77 as 6 strokes over the tour average, 3.9 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.
