How it works
Step 1
Set up the holes
Choose 9 or 18 holes and enter each hole's par and stroke index from the card.
Step 2
Add players
Name up to four players and enter the strokes each one gets. You enter the strokes; the calculator never works them out from a rating.
Step 3
Enter scores
Type each gross score. Leave a hole blank for a pickup or a hole not played yet.
Step 4
Read the result
Pick stableford, net stableford, net score or skins to see points, totals and who won each skin.
The method
Stableford. Net score on a hole is the gross score minus the strokes received on that hole. Points are 2 minus (net score minus par), never below 0. Net par is 2 points, net birdie 3, net eagle 4, net bogey 1.
Strokes. You enter the strokes each player gets for the round. They go to the holes in stroke-index order, hardest hole first, wrapping around for more than 18. Nothing is calculated from a course or slope rating.
Skins. The lowest score on a hole, after strokes in the net version, wins every skin in play. A tie carries the skin to the next hole. A hole counts only when every player has a score on it. Skins are points, not money.
Questions
- How does stableford scoring work?
- Each hole scores points against par after your strokes: net par is 2 points, a stroke better adds one, a stroke worse removes one, and a net double bogey or worse scores 0. Most points wins.
- How are strokes given out?
- Strokes go to the holes in stroke-index order, hardest first. A player getting 20 strokes on 18 holes gets one stroke on every hole and a second on the two hardest.
- How do skins work here?
- The lowest score on a hole wins a skin. A tie carries the skin to the next hole. A skin is one point; there is no money in this calculator or in ParHard.
- Does this use course difficulty ratings?
- No. You enter the strokes a player receives. The calculator does not use course difficulty ratings or any official formula.
