In golf parlance, a score of one over par on a single hole is called as a bogey. For instance, on a par 3, a score of 4 is a bogey and on a par 4, a score of 5 is a bogey; so on and so forth. The term bogey has been actually originated from a song that caught the frenzy of people in British Isles in 1890s, called "The Bogey man."
The character of the bogey man was that of a vague person who would hide in the shadows. Golfers of England and Scotland began to relate the search for the elusive man with the search for the elusive, perfect golf score. By the turn of late 1890s, the "bogey man" was referred to as an ideal score a golfer could make on a hole under agreeable conditions. By the late 1900s, the concept of "par" surfaced which was the selected number of strokes a golfer could take on a hole under perfect conditions. The term "par" means "even" or "in level with".

1 over par. Par is what a hole is expected to be finished in. A bogey is 1 more that is expected.
