A Net Double Bogey is the maximum score on a hole that is used when calculating the Adjusted Gross Score. The term double bogey itself means two strokes over par for a hole — for example, 6 on a par-4 or 5 on a par-3.
To calculate a Net Double Bogey, you add to the double bogey the number of handicap strokes the player receives on that particular hole based on their Course Handicap.
Examples:
- If the player receives one handicap stroke on a par-4 hole:
4 (par) + 2 (double bogey) + 1 (handicap stroke) = 7 - If the player receives two handicap strokes on a par-5 hole:
5 (par) + 2 (double bogey) + 2 (handicap strokes) = 9
