How to calculate Stableford Points?

Question

I'm a 25 handicap and I've recently joined a golf club and have played in a couple of medals. So far the club have calculated my points for me but I should learn how to.

I understand that a 6 handicap for instance would add increase the par by one for Stroke Index holes 1-6 and for an 18 it would be adding one to SI 1-18.

I just get confused as to what the fromula would be for a handicap higher than 18. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Answer 1

Let's say you have a handicap of 25, which is 7 more than 18. In that case, you will get a two stroke handicap on each of the 7 most difficult holes, and one stroke on each of the other holes. If your handicap is 36, you get two strokes on every hole.

Answer 2

hi there are 2 ways....

1st way.........if your handicap is 25 you get 2 shots on the 7 hardest holes and get 1 shot on every other hole...

2nd way....just cound every shot like stroke play and your par is 25 over par which is 36 points.your ment to get 2 points a hole........for example you shot 22 over par.you will have 39 points....also if you shot 27 over par you would have 34 points ok

hope this helped
