RULE Purpose of Rule: 180 21.1 Stableford 21.1a Overview of Stableford Stableford is a form of stroke play where: • A player’s or side’s score for a hole is based on points awarded by comparing the player’s or side’s number of strokes (including strokes made and penalty strokes) on the hole to a fixed target score for the hole set by the Committee, and • The competition is won by the player or side who completes all rounds with the most points. The Rules for stroke play in Rules 1-20 apply, as modified by these specific Rules. Rule 21.1 is written for: • Scratch competitions, but can be adapted for handicap competitions, and • Individual play, but can be adapted for competitions involving partners, as modified by Rules 22 (Foursomes) and 23 (Four-Ball), and for team competitions, as modified by Rule 24. 21.1b Scoring in Stableford (1) How Points Are Awarded. Points are awarded to a player for each hole by comparing the player’s score to the fixed target score for the hole, which is par unless the Committee sets a different fixed target score: Rule 21 covers four other forms of individual play, including three forms of stroke play where scoring is different than in regular stroke play: Stableford (scoring by points awarded on each hole); Maximum Score (the score for each hole is capped at a maximum); and Par/Bogey (match play scoring used on a hole-by-hole basis).
