   4. golf the number of strokes required for a hole or a
      round played without mistake, two strokes being allowed on
      each hole for putting. par represents perfect play,
      whereas bogey makes allowance on some holes for human
      frailty. thus if par for a course is 75, bogey is usually
      put down, arbitrarily, as 81 or 82. if par for one hole is
      5, a bogey is 6, and a score of 7 strokes would be a
      double bogey.
