HOW DOES A MODIFIED STABLEFORD SYSTEM WORK?

Using the Stableford Scoring System, each golfer accumulates points based on their gross score on each hole.
The system described below is 'modified' to accomodate the generally higher scoring averave of non-professional golfers.

        Double Eagle                                         8
        Eagle                                                     6
        Birdie                                                    4
        Par                                                        2
        Bogey                                                    1
        Double Bogey & up                               0


The number of points that must be achieved is based on the golfer's course handicap:


        36 - course handicap = points needed


EXAMPLE	Ima Golfer, Hdcp 12             36 - 12 = 24 pts needed

        Total Score       83
        Points Today    26
        Net Points          2       (26 - 24 = 2)

A golfer is never penalized for not playing or for having a very bad round of golf.  Zero (0) net points is the
lowest a golfer can be awarded even if the golfer fails to achieve the required amount of points or doesn't play.
Even though handicaps can become larger than 36, the minimum points needed will always be zero (0).
