Note: An official Australian (Golf Australia) handicap can only be issued by golf clubs that are affiliated with a State Association that is a member of Golf Australia, which in Western Australia is  Golf WA.

* Special games are arranged by the Captain.

6. Golf Competitions
Stableford involves scoring points based on results at each hole. Using the index for each hole, players are able to make a mental allocation of their full handicap for each of the 18 holes.
For example, a player on a handicap of 18 will add one shot to the par value of each hole to determine their own par for the hole. The points scoring method is then calculated by allocating two points for a par, one point for one over, three points for one under, four points for two under, and so on.  1 over  handicap Par = 1 pt, Par = 2 pts, 1 under = 3 pts, 2 under = 4 pts etc.

Stableford Scud Ball (Eclectic may be allowed) (Pick Partners)
A Ball is given to playing pairs, (this is usually a coloured ball) and is played alternately between the pair (ie odd holes or even holes). The other playing partner uses their own ball when not playing the scud ball, and scores their own stableford score. At the end of the hole, if the scud ball is still in play, the partners add both their stableford scores, then swap over the Scud ball.
If you lose the SCUD ball then the pair are out of the prize money and take a 2 shot penalty, but still continue to play and score their stableford points for handicapping, noveties etc.
The winning pair are the ones still with the SCUD ball (handed in after the game) and the highest aggregate stableford score at the end of the game.

Aggregate  Stableford (Eclectic may be allowed)
The net scores are determined by adding the individual scores of the Team members.

Ukraine Stableford (Eclectic may be allowed)
This is a pairs event. The two  Stableford scores are multiplied together to create a team score on a hole by hole basis. For example, if one of the partners scores 3 points and the other scores 2 the result is 6, but if one player scores 2 and the other wipes the hole the result is 0 or a wipe for the pairing. In effect both players must score on each hole, even 3 x 1 is 3 points scored.

Split Stableford (Pairs)
Players play in pairs off normal handicap, the best score on each hole from either player is recorded for the team event, Handicap and Eclectic allowed, so players also record individual scores.

Stableford – Split (Secret) Stableford (Eclectic may be allowed)
Players play normal Stableford, But players play in groups of two, three or four and play in different groups, and the scores for each group is tallied at the end of the round. The Captain shall determine the groupings and players usually do not know their playing partners until the end.  Where odd numbers are entered the captain will nominate players to play in two groups. The selected player is eligible to win in both groups. (see By-Law 9.5)

Stableford Split Sixes Competition (4 Person event) (Eclectic may be allowed)
Teams of four players each play their own shots throughout, but the first six holes the two best Stableford scores are added, the next six holes the best three Stableford scores are added and the last six holes all four Stableford scores are added. At the end the highest team total is the winner.

Stroke Maximum Score
Players whom cannot finish a hole, i.e. for a lost ball/s or ball lost in the rough or too many shots in a bunker can declare a maximum score for that hole and keep playing in the round, the maximum scores are Par 3 = 7, Par 4 = 8 and Par 5 = 9. You must declare that you are entering a maximum score for that hole and enter the appropriate score.

Stroke Match play
Match play is a hole-by-hole contest; based on your handicap for that hole, think of it as 18 one-hole contests. The winner is the player who wins the most holes. When a player is more holes up than there are holes remaining to play, he wins. This means that matches can end before the 18th hole or they can go beyond 18 until a winner is decided. Match play even allows for ties. In those cases, a halved match results in each team being awarded a half point.
