# Shooting 85 in golf

A 85 on a par 72 is 13 over par and 5 strokes better than bogey golf. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 it is worth a Score Differential of 13.0, so a golfer whose good rounds are 85 holds an index near 13.0, and a golfer whose average round is 85 holds one nearer 8 to 10.

## Key figures

- A 85 on a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 is a Score Differential of 13.0; on a championship tee rated 74.2 with a slope of 138 it is 8.8.
- The benchmark model reads a 85 as 14 strokes over the tour average, 9.1 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.
