# Shooting 88 in golf

A 88 on a par 72 is 16 over par and 2 strokes better than bogey golf. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 it is worth a Score Differential of 15.7, so a golfer whose good rounds are 88 holds an index near 15.7, and a golfer whose average round is 88 holds one nearer 11 to 13.

## Key figures

- A 88 on a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 is a Score Differential of 15.7; on a championship tee rated 74.2 with a slope of 138 it is 11.3.
- The benchmark model reads a 88 as 17 strokes over the tour average, 11.1 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.
