Stableford Event - Week 13

On Week 13 of the PGLS Tours there is a WGC event to be played at Pine Valley.

This will be a Stableford event and the points allocated will be as follows:

-3 Double bogey or worse
-1 Bogey
0 Par
+2 Birdie
+5 Eagle
+8 Albatross (double-eagle)

Stableford scoring rewards risk-taking because a birdie is twice as rewarding (2 points) as a bogey is punitive (-1). Eagles offer huge pay-offs (5 points) and the worst a player could possibly do would be a double bogey (-3 points) at which point he could pick up his ball and carry on to the next hole. Those golfers who make a few bogeys but also make a lot of birdies or eagles are more likely to feature at the right end of the leaderboards.

It's happening Mark, no debate, just accept it. Just wondering, are you a 'solo' player like Andy?

Incredible!! You don't agree with the implementation of a new points scoring system which will be used in ONE EVENT out of 46 - so you drop out of the whole lot!! LOL

Very disappointed in you Mark, but good luck to you too!!

Don't need logic.

I had a lovely time clicking on my own with the seasonal tunes on thank you. So yes, I had fun too, no need to imply I didn't.
