What does Double Bogey really mean?

Alright, so "Double Bogey" is a term we use in golf. It may sound a little confusing at first, but don't worry, I'll explain it to you in a way that makes sense. So, when a golfer is playing a hole, the goal is to get the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible. Each hole has a designated number of strokes that a really good golfer would need to complete it. We call this the "par" for the hole.

Now, a "Double Bogey" happens when a golfer takes two more strokes than the par for the hole. For example, if the par for a hole is 4, and a golfer takes 6 strokes to get their ball in the hole, then they have made a double bogey. It's like saying they got two bogeys in one hole.

Think of it like this: Imagine you're playing a game where the goal is to throw a ball into a hoop. The hoop is really high up, and the best players can make the shot in just a few tries. Now, if it takes you two more tries than the best players to make the shot, that's kind of like getting a "Double Bogey" in golf. You took more tries than you were supposed to, and that's okay because we all have good and not-so-good turns in sports, right?

So, "Double Bogey" is just a way to keep track of how well a golfer is doing in comparison to the par for each hole. It's like a little scorekeeping system to see how skilled a golfer is at getting the ball into the hole. I hope that makes sense!
