Stableford Handicap Scoring

[John Morrissett]

With this project, David and I looked only at the Rules of Golf. We did not look at the various handicap systems. A good case could be made for a uniform handicap system around the world, as the current situation of several different systems can't be desirable. While it would be instinctive to apply the current allocations allowed for Stableford, some revision may be needed if such a format and points system were adopted.

Please also keep in mind that the points system proposed in Code Two allows one more point than the current Stableford (e.g., under Code Two, a double bogey earns the player one point, whereas in Stableford he would earn no points).
