STABLEFORD WEEKLY COMPETITION
Stableford is a points based system rather than a stroke based.Essentially its based on your handicap + the stroke index of each hole. This type of game play levels out entire playing roster so no matter how good or bad you are everyones evenly matched.
I'd like to start playing this format once a week on same day and every week. You might be able to play in it every week or you may miss 1 from time to time. and depending on clubs funds (if we can raise some extra funds)id like to have a weekly prize for winner of a sleeve of balls . If club doesn't have enough funds prize we only be on certain weeks . hopefully below will explain enough if you need help on how it works or what to do let me know.

Stableford Points System
Dbl bogey or worse = 0 Bogey = 1 Par = 2 Birdie = 3 Eagle = 4 Albertross = 5 |
How handicap and hole index's come into it for example: if a player has a handicap of 18(max)that means they receive an extra shot every hole, so a par3 and u get 4 on it = par 2 points.
or u get a 3 on it =birdie 3 points. Now say they only have a handicap of 10 that means they receive extra shot on the 10 hardest holes indicated by the hole index or score card(on scorecard were it says par/handicap click handicap) index's are shown rated 1 - 18 , 1 = hardest 18 = easiest. |
HERES A QUICK MENTAL ARITHMETIC TABLE
-1 (BOGEY) 1 POINT 0 (PAR) 2 POINTS 1 (BIRDIE) 3 POINTS 2 (EAGLE) 4 POINTS 3 (ALBERTROSS) 5 POINTS BELOW IS KEY FOR ABOVE TABLE (PAR+STROKE) - ACTUAL = Example for this table: player on a par 4(par) 18 handicap(stroke) and got a 4(actual) on it, the above key would look like this: (4+1) - 4 = 1(birdie) 3points |
So come each Saturday for example: lets say Rat50, Intowinit and chipn2 Have logged on and and they havent organized earlier to play this comp with others . And they all want to play it . 1 of them will need to check this page for what course is to be played this week(we be listed during the week every week & and sometimes will be 9 hole and sometimes can be 18 holes so double check).
1 of them will create a stroke game invite the other 2 , on completion of round 1 of them has to save card than send it to me via skype straight away . I will have all scores and uploads done the following day.
