you score either +1, 0 or -1 on each hole. Net par scores 0, net birdie or better scores -1, net bogey or worse socres +1, its basically matchplay against the card (on a net basis). OBviously a + score at the end is good, a - score not so, 0 in effect equates to playing to your handicap
Hi Parmo. A bogey comp is you against the course in a matchplay game. If you win the hole eg a birdie, then you get a +, if you lose the hole eg bogey you get a -, and if you half the hole you get a 0.
At the end of the round you count up the plusses, take away the minusses and that is your score. For example if you have 7 plusses 3 minusses and 8 zeros you score would come out as +4, which would be quite a good score most days. You could of course finish 0 or a minus number which would be unlikely to win.
When we play it (only once a year)I think we normally get full h/cap allowance
