    Common questions

    How are Stableford points calculated?

    You get 2 points for a net par, 3 for a net birdie, 4 for a net eagle and 5 for a net albatross. A net bogey is 1 point and anything worse is 0.

    How do I know where I get my shots?

    Shots are given on the lowest stroke index holes first. With a playing handicap of 12 you get one shot on the holes with stroke index 1 to 12.

    What is a good Stableford score?

    36 points means you played exactly to your handicap over 18 holes. Anything over 36 is a good day, and 40 or more usually wins.
