    I think it's score in relation to par of the course. For example on a par 70 you take 80 shots. Your gross differential would be +10

    and to follow on the Nett differential in that scenario if you had a handicap of 12 would be -2 (80-12 =68)

    The gross differential is the difference between the adjusted gross score and the Competition Standard Scratch on the day for the player.

    The nett differential is the difference between the gross differential and the Competition Standard Scratch minus your playing handicap.

    So not as simple as it first appears? As usual there are lots of complications, and par is not the measure involved here.
