MODIFIED STABLEFORD HANDICAPPING RULES
Scoring
The number of points awarded on each hole is determined based on comparison of the number of strokes taken to a fixed score, usually par. This fixed score is then adjusted in relation to the player’s handicap. Once a player has taken two strokes more than the adjusted fixed score, he may pick up their ball as it is then not possible to score any points on that hole. They can then resume play on the next hole. Because of this, it is still possible to be competitive even allowing for a few bad holes. At the end of the round, the number of points scored on each hole is totaled to give a final score. The winner of a Stableford competition is the player with the highest point total.[3] Final scores may be modified for all players using the Competition Stableford Adjustment system – see below. ( This is what Denny does between the first two rounds… correct me if I am wrong Denny ! — John )

Competition Stableford Adjustment (or CSA) is a method used to adjust a player’s score at the end of a round. With this method, every player can be added 1, 2 or 3 or subtracted 1 stableford points from his/her score, which affects how much their handicap is modified after the match. The reason behind this amendment is to even out scores that deviate particularly from the expected average under normal conditions. The amount of the adjustment is determined by calculating how many players performed much better or much worse compared to their ability, measured as a percentage of all competitors, and then comparing to appropriate tables published by the relevant golf association. ( In our case for Pinehurst Knights ourselves… )
Despite its name, this method can be applied in all types of stroke play, including medal play, though the points need to be converted in stableford format beforehand.
This corresponds to the “Adjusted Scores ” or better described as the Adjusted Stableford Handicap for our Pinehurst Tournaments that Denny does after the first couple of rounds to allow for “conditions “.
