Bogey

A bogey is a score of one stroke over par on a hole. For example, scoring 5 on a par-4 hole. A double bogey is two over par, and a triple bogey is three over par.
Originally, "bogey" referred to what we now call "par." The meaning shifted in the early 1900s when better players began consistently scoring at or below the standard score.
