A golfer named Miles averages around -3.5, not -10. The scoring differential accounts for course ratings and average par of the holes played, which is why the final number looks different from the raw score.
That's how the ranking system actually works. Now there's a couple, a couple layers deeper that we want to be aware of here.

Miles is about a -3.5 scoring average depending on the average par on these holes. Let's go ahead and also look at some of these course ratings.
