Great day in a Stableford!
 

Played in an NCGA Stableford event today at Bayonet Golf Course on the Monterey Peninsula. This was the first time I've played in a Stableford scored event. We were awarded points as follows:

Net Par: 2 points.
Net Birdie: 3 points.
Net Eagle: 5 points.

I started crappy, getting only 2 points on the first 3 holes going Bogey, Trpl Bogey, Bogey with the 3rd being a hole that I got no strokes on.

After that, I hit settled in and hit 11 of the remaining 15 greens shooting 44/40 for an 84 and totalled 38 Stableford points, enough for second place out of a field of 56.

Played the entire round with 1 Hex Black.

Very nice , Way to go !

Nice round. Way to recover from the start you had.

Wow that is awesome. Especially on the back 9. Way to go man!

Congratulations on 2nd place, how many points took first?

thanks. Being able to recover from the poor start is a great confidence booster.

40.

That's awesome, sounds like a great day..

Awesome, I always play stableford in Italy and that is a great result

way to battle back, congrats on the performance!

Spuds like a great day out there. Congrats

Great Job ! 38 points is a tough score -- we always have a (-1) points for double bogey and above in stableford events around here...

I think they avoided the negative points because this event was net score and included a lot of high handicappers. One of the guys I played with would have had quite a negative score.

Very nice score! That's tough to beat after 18 holes.

Our leagues playing one right now, and scoring is a little different as we only award 4 pts for Eagles.

I've shot a 39/38/36 so far for a whopping 16/17/19 = 52pts. Yep, you def. would be winning our event.

One thing I really like about the Stableford format is that it forces you to be aggressive, especially on the greens. When you are faced with a 5 footer for par and a bogey is nothing or a negative, you approach the putt a little differently and for me, being aggressive on those putts actually helps to sink them.
