Best Answer

a "birdie" is 1 under par. Par = 0. So 1 under 0 = -1.

same for eagle, albatross, and a hole-in-one.

for a par 4 hole:

Hole-in-one = -3.

Eagle = -2.

Birdie = -1.

Par = 0.

Bogey = +1.

Double bogey = +2.

and so on

How do you use negative numbers in golf?

On the professional golf tours and high ranking amateur events, negative numbers are used to indicate the amount of strokes under par, for the amount of holes played. -3 (14) Means the player is 3 shots under par, and they have completed 14 holes. Professional golf tournaments are normally 4 rounds. So if this was the third round, the player would be 3 under for the week, and has just completed the 14th of his third round.
