Stableford
Stableford is a scoring system in golf that awards points based on the number of strokes taken at each hole. The objective is to score the highest number of points, rather than achieving the lowest number of strokes.
Overview
In Stableford, players earn points based on their score relative to par on each hole. The player with the highest number of points at the end of the round wins.
Stableford encourages aggressive play and rewards risk-taking, as players are not penalized as harshly for high scores on individual holes. This makes it a popular format for casual and competitive golfers alike.

How to Play

Double Eagle: 8 points
-

Players tally their points throughout the round.
Settings & Adjustments
-
Players can adjust the points awarded for each score relative to par based on their preference or skill level.
-
You can also assign a “quota” to this format where a player is given a quota equal to 36 minus their course handicap (e.g., a 15 handicap would have a quota of 21). A player’s score is the total of points earned minus his quota.
-
For example, if a player earned 24 points with a quota of 21, his tournament score would be +3.
