Scoring

The Modified Stableford system gives golfers points on each hole, based on the golfer's score relative to par. It is designed to reward players for taking chances to go for birdies (or better), as the reward for a low score on a hole is typically greater than the punishment for a poor score. The golfer's scores on each hole in his round are added. The scoring operates as follows:

• Albatross (double eagle): +8
• Eagle: +5
• Birdie: +2
• Par: 0
• Bogey: -1
• Double bogey or worse: -3

Holes in one are treated as the score relative to par; an ace on a par-3 hole would be considered an eagle and scored as +5. A hole in one or hole-in-one (also known as an ace) is a phrase used for when a golf player hits the ball in the hole with one shot. ...
