Net Stableford
While both Stroke Play and Stableford scoring use the concept of a net score, they apply it differently. Stroke Play adjusts the raw stroke count by subtracting the player's handicap, whereas Stableford calculates points based on performance relative to a predetermined standard for each hole.
Points Breakdown
In Stableford scoring, the points awarded for each hole are typically based on the player's score relative to par. Here's a common breakdown:
Net Double Bogey or worse2 or more strokes above net par | 0 pts |
Net Bogey1 stroke above net par | 1 pts |
Net ParEqual to net par | 2 pts |
Net Birdie1 stroke below net par | 3 pts |
Net Eagle2 stroke below net par | 4 pts |
Net Albatross or better3 strokes below net par | 5 pts |
Net par = par + extra strokes received due to the player's handicap.
