We are looking at changing the current Stableford points allocation from the current one ...

to a slightly modified version previously used in the PGA ...
  • Double Bogey or worse - 0
  • Bogey - 2
  • Par - 3
  • Birdie - 5
  • Eagle - 8
  • Albatross - 11
The Poll will run for 7 days and as always you can change your vote.

Good for those risk/reward shots and if you are lucky enough (of course skill comes into it) to get an albatross, could really mix things up.

Currently it is just a strokeplay event (unless you get worse than a double bogey) with points, so a thumbs up from me...spice it up.

looks good to me also, as long as we are all playing within the same points system
what the heck go with it.

that is similar to the real life system, 3 was just added to all the points so as no one would get a minus score which can be disheartening.

I'm happy with the present system, think its a bit harsh to take away any hard earned points because you won them fair and square. Plus + 11 would give too much advantage for anyone who has an albertross (which on the rare times it happens is a very lucky shot) the present system often leads to a competitive and close game.

things get stale if everything stays the same.
