Stableford is a scoring system in golf that, rather than counting the total number of strokes taken, involves scoring points based on the number of strokes taken at each hole. The objective in Stableford, is to have the highest score – unlike traditional scoring methods.
Points in Stableford are awarded as follows:
• 4 points – Eagle
• 3 points – Birdie
• 2 points – Par
• 1 point – Bogey
• 0 points – Double-Bogey
• -1 point – Triple-bogey or more (pickup)
The Stableford system was the brainchild of Dr. Frank Barney Gorton Stableford (1870–1959) to stop golfers from giving up after a poor start to their rounds. It was first used at Glamorganshire Golf Club, Penarth, Wales, in 1898, and first used in competition at Wallasey Golf Club in Wallasey, England, in 1932. Stableford is especially popular in the UK, and it is also known to speed up play as once it is no longer possible to score a point, players do not have to complete the hole.
