Special Game Scoring

Stableford

Stableford is a net score game. The player gets his handicap strokes (pops) per hole. Points are awarded per hole based on net score for the hole as follows:

  • Net Double Bogey or Worse = -3
  • Net Bogey = -1
  • Net Par = 0
  • Net Birdie = 2
  • Net Eagle = 5
  • Net Double Eagle = 8

Points for each hole are added to calculate the player's total score.

Chicago

Chicago Scoring is based upon scoring points against a quota based on your handicap. Follow the steps below to calculate this:

  1. Your quota is your handicap subtracted from 19.5. Example: HCP of 10 results in a 9.5 quota.
  2. Points are awarded on GROSS hole scores:
    • 0 points for double bogey or the dreaded other
    • 1 point for bogey
    • 2 points for par
    • 4 points for birdie
    • 8 points for eagle
    • 16 points for double eagle
  3. Add up your points for the round, if you are short of your quota you have a minus score, if you exceed your quota you have a plus score.
  4. On the scorecard, just make sure your strokes are correct. The scoring software will calculate and check the Chicago scoring.
