Nope, not higher than you wanted to - because you wanted to play stableford rounds as if they were medal rounds. You've not played holes to your best ability in terms of recording the best score you could and it's highly unlikely there aren't numerous instances where your stableford score has ended up lower than it could have been had you attempted to gain points.

Your threads are usually 50% of the posts are people disagreeing with you and the other 50% are your replies trying to shout them down. I would hardly call that a debate.

In that case keep playing Stablefords as your handicap is coming down in this format, which is your ultimate aim.
Maybe the forum will crowd fund you the 1st Downfield stableford generalissimo trophy and board - you'll be right at the top.
Still struggling to ignore me I see :rofl:

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
PP didnt "only manage to finish 17 holes" he played 18, his scores over 17 were better than his PP who scored on 18. I scored 42 over 17 today. I would t call that a joke, I would call that " a man who kicked ass😘"

21 pages of the OP laughing his leg of. Never ceases to amaze me how successful trolls are and regardless of intent to ignore, most people fail on that intent.
Well done OP in achieving your aim - pointless argument page after page. Don't waste time denying - just smile - job well done

I am just glad the Pro's don't play Stableford, just imagine The Open being a Stableford event............
Not even the elite amateur events are Stableford, why do you think that is?
Come to think of it are there any club opens staged as Stableford event ?
I agree with Gabby and a lot of the other comments here that Stableford is not a true format of golf but just a way that lets poorer players remain competitive in club matches in order to keep the interest going when they have a bad round which is probably most times they play

how many club championships are matchplay?
why won't you and Cabby just accept that Stableford is just a different format. Like every format you may not particularly like it compared to others but that doesn't make it lesser just a different format

Most Club Championships are Match play that i know off but in order to get to the Match play knockouts you must play stroke play in order to qualify and at no point is Stableford involved

really? every club championship I am aware of is a medal.
Clubs also have a match play tournament but it's not the club championship.
Your point seemed to be that stableford is lesser because club championships and elite tournaments are medal. My point is that match play is a recognised format that most golfers including elite play, but club championships, majors etc are not played in the match play format.
Stableford is just a different format and has its place in golf, whether Cabby or you like it or not

Every club you are aware off, you obviously live a sheltered life.
Only big tour event I know about that plays Stableford is the Trilby and we all know about the Trilby tour.......

I'd say that format is probably the norm up this side of the border.

As is stroke play for most club medals :thup:

Tee up ball , hit ball walk after ball hit it again until it goes in - how you score the game is irrelevant at the end of the day
All talk of pro game and leading amateur is irrelevant - they aren’t club golfer
Some people need to stop being golf snobs in regards what format people play - some of those leading pros and amateurs played Stableford at one point in there life
If you don’t like Stableford then don’t play it but also don’t make snobbish judgments about people that do play it - it’s but trolling and just adds to the sports perception that it’s for snobs
