Stableford Scoring System Format<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stableford system of scoring was invented in 1931 by Dr. Frank Stableford of the Wallasey & Royal Liverpool Golf Clubs and the first competition under Stableford Rules was played on 16 May 1932 at Wallasey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each player or side plays against the par of each hole and receives points according to how he scores in relation to par.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scoring system is as follows:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

2 or more over par<\/td>	0 Points<\/td><\/tr>
1 over par<\/td>	1 Points<\/td><\/tr>
Par<\/td>	2 Points<\/td><\/tr>
1 under par<\/td>	3 Points<\/td><\/tr>
2 under par<\/td>	4 Points<\/td><\/tr>
3 under par<\/td>	5 Points<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n And so on..<\/p>\n\n\n\n (It would be very unlikely that anyone would score more than 4 under par, though from a high handicap this is possible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The score is the nett score for each hole dependent on the player’s handicap. The normal allowance under Stableford rule is 7\/8ths of the lowest club handicap, though it is becoming common practice for players to receive their full handicap allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Stableford Scoring System Format<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n The nett score is calculated by taking strokes at the appropriate hole using the stroke index shown on the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whereas medal play requires you to complete every hole, Stableford is a score by hole, so that if you take more than 2 over par nett at the first, you can pick your ball up and go to the second hole and start again.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the 18 holes, the number of points gained at each of the holes is added together to give a total points score.<\/a> Because of its format it is suitable for strokeplay only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The system was invented in 1931 by Dr. Frank Stableford<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105893,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":4,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[690,6807],"class_list":["post-230637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-a-z-golf-history-trivia","tag-golf","tag-stableford-scoring"],"yoast_head":"\n
