Do you record your opponent’s Stableford points on their Scorecard?

[Troymcclure]

I don’t bother but my oppo today

1. Thought it a requirement​

2. Seemed a bit miffed he couldn’t double-check his points​

​

 

[BiMGuy]

Nope. Gross score only.

 

[JamesR]

Yes, it’s not a requirement but I find it useful as a double check of scoring.

 

[C7usk]

No, I don't bother.. If playing a stableford comp we just enter the scores in app as we go along.. Gives you live scoring.

 

[HampshireHog]

Yes, I don’t find it a burden.

 

[Tashyboy]

I always ask the player what his score was, if he tells me 4 for 2 I will put that down.

I always ask the player what his score was, if he tells me 4 for 2 I will put that down.

If you are his marker, should you not know what his score was?

 

[Canary Kid]

I always keep both mine and my opponents; score and points for each hole.

 

[Backache]

I wasn't aware that I had a opponent playing Stableford.

 

[Troymcclure]

I wasn't aware that I had a opponent playing Stableford.

Fellow competitor then

[Bratty]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I will always ensure I work out their points and check with them before signing their card though.

 

[chrisd]

If I don't I usually tell them when I enter their first score, if they ask me to will happily put their points score too

 

[Slab]

Yeah I always jot down both gross and points for theirs and note my own too

Nice to know straightaway at the end of round what you scored for the comp format you entered

 

[Backsticks]

Never. And we play a lot of stableford. Just check their score on each hole to be sure we agree before I write it down. The computer terminal tots the points.

 

[KenL]

I wasn't aware that I had a opponent playing Stableford.

Isn't everyone an opponent in a stableford competition?

Yes, I write in their stableford points.

 

[Maninblack4612]

Always. So does everyone else I know.

 

[backwoodsman]

If it's stableford, always put down gross & points. I know it's not a requirement, but why would you not?

 

[Mel Smooth]

Always, and always cross check the points totals after 9 and 18. I've never played with anybody that hasn't done this - and played a loads of Stableford golf.

You will if we ever play together. ?
I'll gladly tell you your points (if you ask me to keep a live score on the 1st tee), but I will politely request you don't tell me my score after 9 holes, as I don't like to know. Stableford or medal, I find I'm rarely able to recall what I'm on bar the last couple of holes. I'll have marked them all down, but the numbers just don't stick in my head.
