Description

A quota/Stableford scoring game with gross skins.

Stableford Points (Gross)

  • Double Eagle (albatross): 6 points
  • Eagle: 4 points
  • Birdie: 3 points
  • Par: 2 points
  • Bogey: 1 point
  • Double bogey or worse: 0 points

Quota System

Each player's quota = par - handicap strokes received.

  • Front/Back split: If quota is odd, add +1 to the easier nine (by rating)
  • Performance = Stableford points - quota (e.g., 18 points vs 14 quota = +4)

Skins (Gross)

  • Gross birdie or better wins the skin
  • Eagles override birdies on the same hole
  • Ace (hole-in-one) or albatross wins the entire skins pool
  • One winner per hole (no carryovers)

Settlement

  • The pot splits four ways — front nine, back nine, overall, and gross skins. Set each share under Pool Split (starts as an even quarter each)
  • Each Stableford pool pays 1st/2nd/3rd by quota performance
