# Shooting 96 in golf

A 96 on a par 72 is 24 over par and 6 strokes worse than bogey golf. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 it is worth a Score Differential of 23.0, so a golfer whose good rounds are 96 holds an index near 23.0, and a golfer whose average round is 96 holds one nearer 18 to 20.

## Key figures

- A 96 on a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 is a Score Differential of 23.0; on a championship tee rated 74.2 with a slope of 138 it is 17.9.
- The benchmark model reads a 96 as 25 strokes over the tour average, 16.3 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.
