# Shooting 99 in golf

A 99 on a par 72 is 27 over par and 9 strokes worse than bogey golf. On a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 it is worth a Score Differential of 25.7, so a golfer whose good rounds are 99 holds an index near 25.7, and a golfer whose average round is 99 holds one nearer 21 to 23.

## Key figures

- A 99 on a middle tee rated 70.6 with a slope of 125 is a Score Differential of 25.7; on a championship tee rated 74.2 with a slope of 138 it is 20.3.
- The benchmark model reads a 99 as 28 strokes over the tour average, 18.2 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.
