Whats My Score?

[Craggles89]

Hopefully you more experienced golfers can advise on a confusing matter I had friday night.
Playing a friendly practice round with a work colleague, I was noting scores while we were playing match play (I won 4&2) I won the game on the 16th par 3 with a monster 30ft putt down hill straight in for birdie.
My question is, for my own purpose in keeping my own score, I was playing off 24 and the 16th is SI 4. So 2 shots for me?
In terms of strokes and my score, is it right to think I scored gross 2, net 0? How does it work?
Also I am aware that we were playing matchplay, and my colleague was giving me 12 shots, so I know for matchplay I only gained 1 shot on him on this hole, which I won!

if you had been playing Stableford, then yes, you would have had a net 0 for 5 points,

edit to add that if it had been strokeplay then you would just record your gross score for the hole (2) and then you take your full handicap off your total gross score at the end of the round.

Not to take this subject too far off tangent, but:

If said player holed out an albatros on a par 5, where he or she gets 2 shots, what is the score and points?

Is it 7points? For a net -2?? Or is there a limit of net 0 5 points?

no limit so yes 7 points.

The albatross on a par 5 is nett 0 for 7 points. I did post on another thread that one of our (genuine) 27-handicappers did just that.
