The Stableford System of Golf Scoring

This system is designed to speed up play and participants must have a golf handicap ( else use The Callaway System ).

Stableford is a points system and uses a hole's difficulty index. This index is present on the scorecard and has been determined by the experts. The most difficult hole on the course is index 1 and the easiest is index 18. Index 1 may well apply to a very long par 4 which, some players may suggest should be a par 5.

When you have played 8 shots on any hole you cannot score points and should pick up your ball.

Apply the rule in the table below (after 'putting out' on each hole) to calculate your nett for that hole.

For example

A player on 24 handicap takes 7 strokes on the par 4, 13th hole which has an index of 3 on this particular course.
The index value of 3 means he takes 2 off his score giving him nett 5.
This is 1 over par for the hole so he scores 1 Stableford point on that hole.

At the end of the game the highest number of point wins.
