  onky joking dot either will do 

   

  any players not sure about anything please ask the question,i want everyone happy and ready to go MARCH 1ST 

   

   

  Hi Paul,

                Just an Idea/suggestion, As the Stableford round Is a bit off could the scoring be spiced up a bit.

  Say award an extra point for an Eagle, Make It a real risk/reward scenario "If I Eagle this & he birdies It I'll gain 2 points on the hole on him but If I go for the eagle & mess It up I could be looking at a fustercluck"

  What ya think, Might make The Stableford round more exciting! ?

  Ken

  il have a chat with the lads ken,we did look at this last year but decided to leave it as it was,might be an idea thx

  I tend to agree with Ken.  What was posted is barely different from stroke play so why bother.  Just do stroke play in that case.

  If you care for a suggestion, it would be 0-bogey& below, 1-par, 2-birdie, 5-eagle, 8-dbl. eagle.  Maybe -1 for dble bogey and below.

  That said, my club is happy to be in this for the fun of the game and we will happily follow the rules, whatever they are.

  I'm not sure what I think about the other suggestions on this.  If eagles scored so heavily then it could give too much weight to only a few holes of the eighteen.  Better equipment may then come more to the fore.

  I do think you have made it worse/more like strokeplay than before.  If the scoring  is sequential then it is predictable (strokeplay) one beyond the sequence, zero for double bogie is right.  The difference from strokeplay now only comes now with a triple bogey or worse (which score 0 rather than -1 etc).

  A way to make it different from strokeplay, and perhaps also reward the attacking play mentioned, would be to shorten the sequence. No points for par would at least make it differ from strokeplay if there was a bogey.

  Hi,

      I didn't consider the other end of the scale, What If apart from getting rewarded extra for an Eagle or better a player also gets "punished" for a bogey, Say 0 points or Is that going too far!?.

  The lower Tiered/level player will still have the advantage of The Handicap to level things out
