Stableford for 9 holes

[Bert]

Sorry if this sounds stupid.

How are your total points worked out? ie total points for nine holes is your score? or do you take your points total and add on 18 points to get to around 36?

If that makes sense

You have to complete the holes before you can 'score' anything on them.

If you only play 9 holes then you only score for 9 holes. Or in forum speak, you could say you had xx points with 9 blobs

 

[Bert]

Thank you.

Another question i meant to ask was how do your extra shots work when the SI is 1 - 9 and you are say a 28 handicap do you get two shots for every hole?

If you are playing a 9-hole qualifier, 18 points is added to your 9-hole total to give your score.

If you are a 28 handicap you get 14 strokes over 9 holes. So you will get 2 strokes on the 5 lowest stroke index holes and 1 stroke on the others

Surely you get 2 shots on SIs 1-10 and 1 shot on the rest. That may or may add up to 14 strokes depending on the way the SIs are spread

Thank you for the reply.

Makes sense when you think about it

He talks about the 9holes having SI 1-9, so I assumed he's talking about a 9 hole course.

Every 18hole course I've played had odds on one 9 and evens on the other, which amounts to the same thing if your handicap is an even number like 28.

Hereford municipal is indeed a 9 hole course.

it is indeed nine holes. I don't usually play there but as it is five minutes from my house and it is £5 green fees on a Friday, I fancied a quick nine this morning by myself as I had the day of work (just turn up & pay).

So I just wondered how nine hole courses work with regard to these issues. Scored 22 points of nine holes playing of 28 (unofficial) and I feel as if I am improving all the time

Well played!

Well played, keep it up :thup:

According to one website, the odd numbers are quoted for the front 9 so he would get 2 shots on SIs 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and one shot on the other four.

Ah I missed that.

Our course isnt odds and evens for each nine (as arent a lot of courses these days), we play a 9 hole comp in summer and you get full handicap and shots only on the the SIs below that, so most get less than half handicap as the back 9 is harder

That is different from the way Congu requires Nine-Hole qualifying comps to have strokes allocated!

Congu simply halves the playing handicap. So, for example, a 10 gets 5 shots - on the 5 lowest SI holes of the designated 9-hole course.

Not so. The national union provides a conversion chart using exact handicaps. For example, 10.5 exact gets 4 shots, 18.3 gets 8 shots.

Ah! Good point! It was the SI and shot allocation, where not Odds/Evens that I was focussed on!
