Handicaps and Stableford

A very dull video explaining how to score! Hopefully simple enough to understand! Should point out that handicaps over 18 will receive a second shot per hole. Example, a handicap of 20 will receive 1 shot at holes with a stroke index (S.I.) 1 - 18 and 2 shots at holes with a S.I. 1 and 2. Got bored so didn't explain that in the video!

So good to have someone explain Stableford without waffling on.

Very straightforward and well presented. By far the most simple explanation on stableford scoring I have come across.

[gwilko]

Thanks for this clear explanation. Been playing for 3 years but never really understood as usual play in comps in pairs. Thanks

An excellent video. Explained handicaps and stableford better than anything else I've seen.

I think it’s important for everyone to understand that your handicap index and your course handicap are not the same thing. If your handicap index is 10, you need to use that to figure out what your course handicap is which will vary by slope/rating of the tees/course you’re playing. From an easier set of tees your course handicap may be an 8. From a harder set of tees it may be 12.

Thanks, very clear, helped me, a beginner, to understand the system which was a bit baffling when you hear the lads at the club talking scores and points. Now I think I can keep up.

Super explanation, thanks. Not sure why others make it seem so complicated.

[gsprotennis]

Fk this is confusing, hows it work if im trying to get my handicap. Ive been told to do 36 hcp but stableford scoring 😵‍💫

[chrisgast]

for a moment, I was confused. but I understand now. now, I just need to play some rounds and find out what my handicap is.

[blakesaunders]

If some is over 18 handicap do they get more shots taken off each hole? You said for your example a handicap of 10 can take 1 shot off the 10 hardest holes, but what if your over a 18 handicap?

[frankwarren]

Do you think it’s worth to score the match using stableford if everybody is off the same handicap?
Or would do you think match play scoring is better if everybody is on the same handicap?
Thanks

So you are aiming to shoot 36 points a round then for you to be playing to your handicap then? When I used to play stableford we played to try and get 18 points a round, so a par would score a 0 handicapper 1 point.

[geoffcohen]

Par 4 hole with a shot on 10 hardest holes stableford scoring would be
4 for 3points
5 for 2
6 for 1
7 for 0.
On hole where doesnt get a stroke.
4 for 2
5 for 1
6 for 0
Really very easy.
In Australia all club competions are stableford.
Also once you have zero points just pick up, so wont have a 10 as described in video
