Playing Format

Stableford​

 

Overview

Unlike most golf tournament formats, in a Stableford, the high score wins just like in football, basketball, and baseball. In Stableford scoring, points are awarded depending on the score for each hole.

​

A player or team scores one Stableford point for a bogey, two for par, three for a birdie, four for an eagle and five for an albatross. Double-bogies and worse just get a zero. Instead of a dreaded snowman (otherwise known as taking eight on a hole!), the score is zero. 

​

The individual or team wins the Stableford golf competition by scoring the most Stableford points overall.  Player handicaps will be used so the golf tournament is fair and fun for all. For example, if a player takes six shots on a par-4 hole, but is entitled to one shot because of his or her handicap, the net score is five. That’s a bogey which earns one Stableford point.

​

​

Guidelines

  1. Stableford points will be awarded as follows:

    1. Double Eagle or less - 5pts.

    2. Eagle - 4 pts.

    3. Birdie - 3 pts.

    4. Par - 2 pts.

    5. Bogey - 1pts.

    6. Double Bogey and higher - 0 pts.

 

Scores will still be recorded and calculated for handicap and low net; nothing changes there.  Stableford is ONLY used to calculate Points after every round.  There will be a first half winner, a second half winner which will play for the flight championship at the end of the season.

 

 

  1. The league software will be used to award and track points.
