About Stableford Scoring

When you select the Stableford scoring method (

Setting the 

Scoring Method

), points are awarded based on the number of 

strokes taken relative to par. At the end of a round, the highest 

score wins. The device awards points as specified by the United 

States Golf Association.
The scorecard for a Stableford scored game shows points 

instead of strokes.

About Match Scoring

When you select the Match scoring method (

has the fewest strokes. At the end of a round, the player who 

won the most holes wins.

NOTE: 

Match scoring is available only for two players.

When you set the Approach to count strokes, the device 

determines the winner of each round. Otherwise, at the end of 

each hole, select the player who had the fewest strokes, or if the 

number of strokes was equal, select Halved.

About Skins Scoring

When you select the skins scoring method (

Setting the Scoring

), players compete for a prize on each hole.

When you set the Approach to count strokes, the device 

determines the winner of each hole. Otherwise, at the end of

can select multiple players if there is a tie for the win.
