📈Stableford

How It Works

Instead of counting strokes, players earn points based on net score vs. par. Defaults: hole-in-one 8, eagle 6, birdie 4, par 1, bogey 0, double bogey or worse −2. A blow-up hole costs you points instead of wrecking a stroke total, which rewards aggressive play.

Options & Variations

Every point value (HIO / eagle / birdie / par / bogey / double+) is editable. Payout type: Points (each net point pays the bet-per-point, default $1) or Winner Takes All (the leader collects a bet-per-player from each, default $5). Handicaps: Index on Low HC (on) with a percentage (default 100%) and per-player overrides; standard USGA allocation gives a 2nd stroke past 18.

Winning

The player with the most Stableford points wins. With Points payout, settlement is per-point; with Winner Takes All, the top total sweeps the field.

Pro Tips

• Pick up after a double bogey and move on — the worst a hole costs is −2.
• Tune the point table to reward whatever your group values most.
