Stableford points

[Darrengrice]

I recently scored a hole in one on a par 4, the stroke index was 16, my playing handicap at the time was 16, so I received a shot, could anyone tell me how many Stableford points I should receive, my playing partner insists it is 6, but I feel it should have been 7 ?

1 for 6 points


4 for 3
3 for 4
2 for 5
1 for 6

How did you arrive at 7?

Work it back from a nett 4 scoring 2 points and your nett score of 0 works out at 6 points.

How long was the hole?
Which course?
What driver were you using?
What make of ball?
Was it downhill wind assisted?
What was the bar bill afterwards?
How many aces have you had?

Nett 4-under = 6 stableford points. Boring.

He must have thought you get a charitable bonus point for it being a hole-in-one.

But don't you get deducted 1point if you used a pink tee?

Perhaps OP is talking about Stapleford points? If so, it could indeed be 7. I'm not too clued up on how they're being calculated.

If it is a par 4 and you get a shot, your revised par is 5. If you take 5 shots, you get 2 points for achieving your revised par. Therefore, 4 shots get you 3 points, 3 shots 4 points, 2 shots 5 points and hence 1 shot 6 points. It is most definitely 6 points … end of.

If it is a par 4 and you get a shot, your revised par is 5. If you take 5 shots, you get 2 points for achieving your revised par.

In many, many decades of playing golf, this is the first time I have ever heard the Stableford scoring system explained and expressed this way. Same net result though.

I always used that same method for tracking my progress through each hole (just in stableford comps obviously)

'Revised par' just another way of saying nett par surely? Means the same.

One does not revise par. Par simply is.
