# Shooting 83 in golf

A 83 on a par 72 is 11 over par and 7 strokes better than bogey golf. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 it is worth a Score Differential of 11.2, so a golfer whose good rounds are 83 holds an index near 11.2, and a golfer whose average round is 83 holds one nearer 6 to 8.

## Key figures

- A 83 on a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 is a Score Differential of 11.2; on a championship tee rated 74.2 with a slope of 138 it is 7.2.
- The benchmark model reads a 83 as 12 strokes over the tour average, 7.8 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.
