STABLEFORD RULES

Objective

The objective of Stableford is to score as many points as possible.

Scoring

The points system is as follows:

Bogey 1 Point
Par 2 Points
Birdie 3 Points
Eagle 4 Points
Albatross 5 Points

Handicaps must be taken into consideration when scoring. Distribute the handicap evenly over the “Stroke Index” that is ranked from 1 to 18. For example if a player has a handicap of 27 he will deduct 2 strokes from his score for holes ranked 1 to 9 and deduct 1 stroke for holes ranked 10 to 18. If the player scored a 7 for a par 5 on a hole ranked 6, it would equal the following:

7 strokes - 2 handicap = 5 (par)
Par = 2 Points

Washed Holes

If a player shoots too many strokes to score points for a hole, he may elect to not finish the hole. Washing a hole will not disqualify a player.

Tallying Up Results

At the end of 18 holes total the number of points scored.
