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.
