# How to break 105 in golf

Breaking 105 needs no pars: fourteen doubles and four bogeys is 104. The round is decided by the holes worse than a double, which is a penalty problem, and the published tables price the penalty at two strokes. On the benchmark model a 104 is 33 strokes over the tour average, and 21.5 of them sit in the long game.

## Key figures

- A 104 on a par 72: 0 pars and 4 bogeys with 14 doubles, or 2 pars, 0 bogeys and 16 doubles at the other end of the table.
- From 150 yards in the fairway an approach to 10 feet is worth 0.32 strokes against the tour average; a tee shot out of bounds costs 2.05.

## Scope

- Compositions are arithmetic on a par 72 with pars, bogeys and doubles; the shot values are the published tour baseline and the benchmark model’s split by handicap.
