# Shooting 98 in golf

A 98 on a par 72 is 26 over par and 8 strokes worse than bogey golf. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 it is worth a Score Differential of 24.8, so a golfer whose good rounds are 98 holds an index near 24.8, and a golfer whose average round is 98 holds one nearer 20 to 22.

## Key figures

- A 98 on a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 is a Score Differential of 24.8; on a championship tee rated 74.2 with a slope of 138 it is 19.5.
- The benchmark model reads a 98 as 27 strokes over the tour average, 17.6 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.
