bogeyed
One over par
Bogeyed is the past tense of bogey in golf—to score one stroke over par on a hole: She bogeyed the fourth but birdied the fifth.
A round described as bogeyed suggests consistent over-par play.
The word sometimes appears figuratively for falling slightly short of a target or standard.
