In this exciting format, golfers play in teams of four, and each player scores points based on their performance on each hole. Rather than counting strokes, the Stableford system awards points for achieving specific scores on each hole - higher points for better results and lower points for worse results.
Scoring is as follows:
Double Eagle: 8 points
Eagle: 5 points
Birdie: 3 points
Par: 2 points
Bogey: 1 point
Double Bogey or worse: 0 points
The goal is to accumulate as many points as possible throughout the round. With this format, every player can contribute to the team's overall score, adding an element of camaraderie and friendly competition. It also allows players to recover from a poor hole and stay in the game, keeping the excitement alive until the very last putt.
