Just been having a debate in the office and rather than defend my understanding and how I read the card and end up completely wrong I thought I would check with the people that may know.
I'm fine on how stableford scoring works on 18 holes (28 handicap gets 2 on the hardest 10 (1-10) and 1 on the other 8 (11-18)) but I'm confused on a 9.
So 9 hole course (Long Nine at Upchurch, Kent) holes are rated 1-9. A player playing of 28 according to any app I've checked gets 2 strokes per hole as they are holes 1-9, this seems wrong and would flatter a score and someone of 18 would do even better. At the moment its a bit irrelevant as only 1 of us has an official handicap of 28 (not me as I'm still too rubbish) but we all play of 28 being men and any score is purely for fun and we are all equally rubbish so its a good comparison. Now the problem comes if we are joined by another pp playing of a handicap of 17.
So how should we be scoring it both for stroke play and stableford.
Over to the experts.
