Stableford Points Tournament
Format, Instructions and Local Rules

  • Field: The field will be divided in four flights. The Low Gross will also receive a prize. Ties for first place will be broken via card-off (USGA, Rules of Golf).

  • Format: This format gives points per hole, according to the score on each hole in relation to par. The player with the most accumulated points wins:

    Double-Bogey or More:-3 points
    Bogey:-1 point
    Par:0 points
    Birdie:+2 points
    Eagle:+5 points
    Double-Eagle:+8 points

  • Slow Play: There will be marshalls patrolling the course to ensure that speed of play is maintained. A foursome that is out of position (par-3: green in front is open when your group gets to the tee; par-4: your group fails to leave the tee before the group in front clears the green; par-5: the group in front is on the green when you get to the tee), will be warned once. If the group fails to catch up, at the discretion of the marshall, each member of the foursome will receive a 2-stroke penalty for the hole they are playing at the time. Play ready golf!

  • Scoring: Write your gross score for the hole, and in the second line write the amount of points obtained according to your net score for the hole ("net points"). You may, additionally, write down your "gross points", if you think you'll be competing for Low Gross prizes.

  • Pick-Up: Yes, pick up if you already are at NET double-bogey for the hole. Write down on the score card the GROSS score you MOST LIKELY would have had, give yourself -3 points and move on. This simple procedure will help speed up play. Thank you.

  • Posting: Post your score at the end of your round. It's a "REGULAR" posting, NOT "tournament" posting.
