How many 3 pointers?

[pokerjoke]

How many 3 points holes would you expect or be looking to get in a Stableford game.

I played with a 28 handicapper on Sunday and he had 7 in his morning round and 6 in the afternoon.
We were having a little laugh and discussion about it walking down the 16th fairway and I mentioned that I had never scored a card with as many 3 pointers as I had so far,so he went and got 4 points on a 175 yard par 3 where he had 2 shots.

He only had 38 and 31 so had a lot of blobs and 1 pointers also.

I've had 9x 3 pointers on the same card before. I've also signed for a 54 point card. It had more 4 pointers than 3.

Fragger gets plenty of 3 pointers - normally equals the number of 1 pointers he gets......plus a few blobs😚👍

If I had 2-4, I would say I have had a good round

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Depends on how well I play. On an average day I'd hope for three or four, maybe more.

Most I have had is 8 when I went round 3 under - 8 3's and ten 2's for 44 points

A model of consistence is our Frag. Mind you off that handicap when he's on, he's a hard man to beat.

Yes I have on a couple of occasions but they were 4 pointers

Bet he said it with a straight face too

Yes because he expects it and he is a bloody good partner to have

Can't argue with the latter. Was lucky to have Ads749r as my partner of a highish mark last year and he caused some real damage so know where you're coming from. Funny he's gone onto better things since finding a new partner

 

[JT77]

Played an open at our place couple weeks back and had 10 3 pointers in my 41 points, and 6 with two 4 points the comp before in my 42 points
Didn't place with 42 but won with 41! Playing off the greens that was though in still conditions.
Back to white tees now though so average around 4 per round.

Not really something I think about. Trying to keep the gross score as low as possible is the aim.

Mind you, I do smile a little more when I make the odd 4 point birdie. Rarity these days.

 

[anotherdouble]

4 would make the big man smile

 

[Ross61]

My best is 2x 4 pointers and 8x 3 pointers in a 43 for a winning score.
I usually manage about 4-5 3 pointers but 4 pointers are rare. Only once managed a 5 pointer. I know a guy who got a 6 pointer by holeing his 2nd on a 350 yd par4.

Worth quickly popping in to say, thank you kind sir :thup:

I only had 7 x 3-pointers and 1 x 1-pointer on Saturday in our 1st stroke-play comp off the back stones in what was very testing weather conditions for the first 8 holes in pouring rain, if not for a silly 8 on the 11th due to a snap hook into the river, I was only 3 over gross on the back

I average between 1 and 2 birdies a round, and would probably expect to par 2 or 3 of my shot holes, so anywhere from 3-5 3 pointers per round at a guess. I've no idea what my best is in reality.

I'm a good "steady Eddie" to partner an up and down type of card.

 

[patricks148]

do Ok, had a 5 pointer last time i played Nairn, holed my 2nd shot on SI2.

I think the lower players, who have reached something of a plateau will mostly be getting 2 pointers, with the odd 1 & 3 pointers.
Those who are slightly higher, and/or on the way down will be more 1 & 3 pointers.
