Q: What’s a NET STABLEFORD COMPETITION?

A: A format in which each player plays his own ball throughout the round. Players are typically allocated 80% of their handicaps, and scoring is determined by points awarded in relation to a fixed score at each hole as follows:

15pts = Net Double Eagle
8pts = Net Eagle
3pts = Net Birdie
1pt = Net Par
0pts = Net Bogey
-1pt = Net Double Bogey or higher

At the conclusion of each hole, if the player receives a stroke for the hole just played (marked on the scorecard with a dot), that stroke is subtracted from his gross score to determine his net score. Players who do not have an established handicap will play at 0% of their handicap. The competitor with the most points is the winner.
