Stableford question

[golfdub]

I know everyone plays this nearly every weekend but I've never played it as I've only just joined a club, I know how the points work but how does your handicap work with this sort of structure ?
I know it's a silly question and I should know but I've only ever played stroke and match play.

Thanks in advance

not a silly question. your course will havce a stroke index for each hole, depending on handicap depicts what holes you get shots on. so off 28 I get 2 shots on 1 - 10 si and 1 on 11-18 si.if off 10 you get 1 shot on stroke indexes 1 -10 etc etc

so par 4 stroke index 1 you get 1 shot, you score a 5 minus your 1 shot is a net 4 for 2 points. a 6 would be a net 5 bogey for 1 point.

You will soon get the hang of it :thup:

with stableford if you cannot score you pick up and move to the next hole, also whereas in medal a disasterous hole means the no prizes in stableford it's only 2 points lost.

Welcome to the forum. You and the other gold thickies will be a very valuable addition to the forum.

If you have any doubts at all with it just record your gross score and work it out the points score sat in the bar.
