Stableford point scoring

Point system information

The golfscoretracker system currently calculates UK stableford points for all rounds played. This includes all international courses and 9 hole courses.

Below are the details of the UK stableford scoring system :

The system works on an handicap basis so players of varying golf handicap levels can compete against each other on an equal par. Extra shots/strokes are added to holes based on the SI (Stroke Index) for each hole and the players handicap.

For example a player with a golf handicap of 28 would get 2 extra shots on the 10th hardest holes definded by the SI and one shot for each of the remaining 8. If they played against another player with a golf handicap of 15 this player would get 1 shot only on the 15th hardest holes.

An hole of SI 15 for either of the above would give them both 1 additional shot. Therefore a score of 5 after deducting the extra shot would equate to a net par which would be 2 stableford points based on the following scoring system :

If a player played exactly to their golf handicap then the points total should be 36.
