# How to break 75 in golf

Breaking 75 is fifteen pars and three bogeys: a scratch level round with no doubles and no penalties, made from approach shots that leave real par chances. On the benchmark model a 74 is 3 strokes over the tour average, and 2.0 of them sit in the long game.

## Key figures

- A 74 on a par 72: 16 pars and 2 bogeys with no doubles, or 17 pars, 0 bogeys and 1 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.
