What does the cryptic crossword clue "Said to be one more than expected in golf trolley (5)" mean?

The definition is "trolley". The wordplay uses a homophone (sounds like). Sounds like (‘said to be’) BOGEY (‘one more than expected in golf’). Chambers and the OED list BOGEY as an alternative spelling for the trolley, which muddies the clue somewhat. The answer is BOGIE.

Said to be one more than expected in golf trolley (5)
