Frequently asked questions
What's a good Stableford score?
Par (36 points for 18 holes) is the baseline. A net score of 36 means you scored exactly to your handicap. Above 36 is better than your handicap; 40+ is a great round for a club golfer. County-level players regularly score 40-45+ Stableford points.
What is a 'blob' in Stableford?
A blob is a 0-point hole — you've scored net double bogey or worse. In Stableford, you should pick up at this point to save time. Blobs are the biggest enemy of a good Stableford round.
