Most
members are familiar with the format of a Stableford
competition and this
notice is for the benefit of new members who may not
have played this type of
competition. Detailed information is contained within
the Rules of Golf (Rule 32-
1b).
The
scoring in Stableford Competitions is made by points
awarded in relation to
your actual score and your handicap allowance at each
hole. Each hole has a
‘stroke index’ shown on the scorecard
and you are allowed strokes at certain holes
in accordance with your handicap e.g.-
| Handicap
6 |
Allowed
strokes at the six holes that are stroke index
1 - 6 |
| Handicap
12 |
Allowed
strokes at the twelve holes that are stroke index
1 - 12 |
| Handicap
18 |
Allowed
strokes at each hole on the course |
| Handicap
20 |
Allowed
one stroke at every hole and two strokes at the
two holes that are stroke index 1 & 2 |
| Handicap
28 |
Allowed
two strokes at the ten holes that are stroke index
1 - 10
and one stroke at all the other holes |
Recording
Score
All
you need to do to comply with the Rules of Golf is

will then determine the number of Stableford Points
awarded. However, if you wish to record the number
of points at each hole, you can do so on the following

speed play up if it is clear that you will not score
any points on a particular hole) and 36 Stableford
Points equates to a nett score of par.
