What wins the comp, best gross or best nett ?
Gross or net
- Thread starter chellie
- Start date
depends if its a scratch or h/cap comp:smirk:
Gross is the only score to say first, by all means say what the nett is after, or even the points....if you must
but gross is actually what you went round in.

Gross it is for me first and foremost, nett / points only come into for comp results as a side.

Now, I've done two stableford comps and have nr'd both as I didn't want everyone who is a member of the club to see my low points score. Don't care about gross though as that has come down on each one I've done. Perhaps I'm just odd lols

Stableford is great in my opinion, however some people take it as gospel for handicap rating. I think handicaps are best arrived at and adjusted off medal rounds, with general play rule 23 used for keeping stableford/match play bandits in check. After all realistically someone could shoot 36+ points and have 2 or three treble, quadruple or worse bogies in that round which would never be good in my opinion as a good round is about 18 consistent holes no matter what handicap you're off.

Who cares what you score, just enjoy it. We had someone who shot 9 points yesterday and he enjoyed it. There was someone who got 2 points at west hill and no one commented about the score just about how that golfer enjoyed himself. We all start somewhere so go out enjoy it. If you are last then so be it. You will get a real feeling off satisfaction when you get into the top 10 then top 5 then top 3!

But you could score those quadruples in a Medal and they'll be reduced to nett doubles for handicapping.
Your handicap is basically worked out on a Stableford system

Gross for me too. Always is.
I once had a chat with a mate who said 'yeah the 15th, easy par that one' and I said I'd take bogey all day. He then said clarified he meant a net par. Right, so we would both be happy with 5s!

Handicaps are calculated using stableford adjnstments so it doesn't matter what the comp format is. A good round is about th score at then end, not the individual holes.

What is this 'net' that you talk about?

What wins the comp isn't important. I'd sooner have lowest gross and win nothing than best Nett and win. Obviously, if it works out I win as well that a bonus but for me it is secondary to my score and the resulting cut

Never that interested in gross scores in a competition, unless it is a gross one, which I haven't played in for at least 35 years ! I always say my net score as how many would know my handicap if I said gross 79 in a medal ? They don't know if that is good or bad. Someone tells me they have shot a 75, I say unlucky and move on before they can start telling me it is their gross score, and give me a hole by hole description of their round.:mmm:

I wouldn't care what your h/cap was... it would show that you could play a bit :ears:
74 would be better though :thup:
I shot 76 at H4H..... does it matter what my h/cap is?

Sounds like a bit of showing off to me, favoured by low handicappers.:ears:

Not really. If I told you I shot a net 69 at H4H do you now know my h/cap?
One sounds better than the other that's for sure, but either way you don't know what my h/cap is unless you ask.

It was a stableford so I would expect you to tell me your stableford score. Oh wait you did.
