Work out golf stableford points instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Stableford awards two points for a net par and one more for each stroke better, with nothing for a net double bogey or worse, so points are max(0, 2 - net score to par). Because a bad hole scores zero rather than a huge number, Stableford keeps a round competitive after one disaster, which is why club events prefer it.
