GOLF Playing from green fee marker in stableford round?

Question

Are you disqualified in a STABLEFORD round for playing from the wrong marker. I know if it is a stroke round it's a 2 shot penalty and you must correct your mistake before the next teeing ground. In a stableford round would you just lose that hole or are you disqualified for not correcting your mistake.

Answer 1

I would have to believe that in Stableford, you simply would not be allowed any points on that hole, the same as if you made a double bogey or worse. I see no reason to DQ someone when some players pick up on several holes in a Stableford round, anyway.

Answer 2

Stableford golf makes no difference upon penalties in golf because the system is a different way of counting strokes.  

The system is

+2 or worse = -2

+1 + -1

par = 0

birdie = +2

eagle = +5

albatross (double eagle) = +8

You would simply follow USGA procedures for this as if it were stroke play, add your strokes, and then convert it to the system.
