Stableford scoring system

[Chris G]

Hi all,

I need a little help, my daughter is attending college and is studying a sports degree in golf. She is having a little trouble getting around the scoring system in stableford games.

Does anyone know of anything I can get her like a carry card which helps work out the score against SI and handicap.

Thanks in advance :)

A sports degree in golf and she can't work out stableford? Must be a great course she's doing..... Oh well...................

It is very simple -

For each hole you play to your handicap you get 2 points

1 under your handicap you get 3 points

2 under your handicap you get 4 points

1 over your handicap you get 1 point

More than i over uyour handicap you get 0 points.

If her handicap is 9, she has to par the 9 easiest holes to score 2 points each for those holes.

An 18 handicapper gets 1 shot per hole.

For each bogey that's 2 points, double bogeys 1 point pars 3 points and birdies 4 points. Triple bogey or worse 0 points.

If your handicap is 19, you get 2 shots on the hardest rated hole on the course. A 20 handicap gets 2 shots the two hardest holes and so on.

If you play off 12, there are 6 holes (the six easiest according to the indexes) that you have to par to get 2 points

If your handicap is +1, you have to birdie the easiest hole to get 2 points.

36 points overall is playing to your handicap.

The only "carry card" she needs is the scorecard, which shows the ratings.

Hi, Sorry I didnt explain myself properly.

I understand stableford, what I wanted to know is there some sort of card like some players carry with them to work the difference of handicaps out etc at the beginning of matches but so show the points system.

Thanks for your help.
