On the other hand, I suspect that SSS would be pretty high the way courses are set up for pro tournaments - length, rough etc..
Your highest Stableford points score?

Good post.
Low 40's will take home the bacon all day long with us (not that we play stableford, real golfers play strokeplay
), and anyone producing a card in the HIGH 40's gets taken round the back and shot.If anyone scores in the 50's, then thats clearly thiefery so we go after their family and the pet dog too.

i personally prefer a stableford over a medal every time. Purely because im a massive an of an 8 or 9 in a round and occasionally the dreaded 10. In a medal that one bad hole ruins my card and sticks in a my mind for a couple holes and i know im always fighting to get it back. Where as in a stabeford once that hole is gone its gone! i can always pick up a 3 or a 4 and once a 5 pointer much to the annoyance of playing partners. Stableford you can just merrily go around scoring steady and always have a shocker hole or 2 and not care

Yes agreed, but how accurate are these handicaps if all rounds are stableford and you simply dismiss the lost shots.
Is that the reason you guys see so many scores in the high 40's low 50s. I know that stableford scoring sits in the back of our strokeplay rounds and kicks in if needed, but was wondering if by only playing stableford it somehow reduces the stability of the handicap and therefore ultra high scores appear more fequently.? not sure

yeah i think that is the only problem with stableford, It isnt a true reflection of how you played during a round. A good example is my dad beat me 3shots on stroke playe but stableford i beat him by 1 point the other week in a normal knock about.
anyone gettin 46+ is deffinately a bandit. i agree with the occasional low 40 because everyone is entiteled to a blinding round every now and again but if they regulary get 40+ on a normal length course (not winter tees or temps) perhaps there handicap needs addressing.

I don't think I have ever had a huge stableford points score. When I started playing nearly all competitions were medal, and I can certainly only ever remember being cut in medal play. Did have the odd net 50 something medal round when I started, but my handicap went from 36 to 6 in a couple of years and that was it for really good scores.
Best stableford since I started playing again was I think 41 points.

That just proves that anyone has the possibility of scoring 46pts. You can never accuse a 4 handicapper of being a bandit. However the problem arises when someone scores 46pts more than once every few years, then questions must be asked.
I'm no great player, I play off 18 & generally play there or there abouts, but, I remember in 2010 I played at Valle Del Esta in Spain and after three mediocre days I went mad, I played the first seven holes in level par, double bogeyed the eighth & parred the ninth. Seven pars and a birdie on the front nine.............25pts in nine holes!
Played the back nine poorly & scored 13pts for a total of 38pts. But, just for a while, a 50 point score was on.................and I am certainly not a bandit. It can be done.........occaisionally.

First of all well played hobbit...-6 under is a hell of a round.
This score is however very much the exception rather than the rule. getting 50 points or even more on the front followed by some junk on the back and coming in around 38 .......doesn't prove that getting 50 points plus is possible,just that you bottled it!
Poulter was a 4 handicap when he turned pro........bet he was a hell of a bandit off of that!!!

BTW I meant 25ish on the front........all these astronomical figures are blowing my brains!!!
Maybe "bottling it" was a bit harsh...how about ..."protecting"

I'd prefer to be called a Bottler than a Protector any day.
Being a Protector really is cheating, "Bottleing" on purpose
Being a Bottler just means you had a Nosebleed........

Are you referring to my round in Spain? (See post # 93)
Maybe 'bottling it' was a bit harsh................'bottling it' on a holiday.....:rofl:.
Utter rubbish, of course it proves that 50 points is possible, it's just bloody difficult. AS you rightly said, this kind of score is very much the exception, BUT STILL POSSIBLE!
It was a friendly holiday golf week, what the hell would I be 'protecting', it was not a medal round, open qualifier or the Ryder Cup, just a few mates having a game of golf.
Protecting my front nine score.......:rofl:.

P.S. I take it you've never got more than 36 points, that's for bandits
