Individual, quota game. Any # of players allowed. 

The player’s quota is 36 – player’s handicap.  

e.g. If a player’s handicap is 15, their quota is 21. If they finish with 22 stableford points their score result and position in the game is  based on a quota of +1 (22 vs 21). 

That example player would lead players with a lower quota (quota’s can be negative) and trail players with higher quota.

A player’s score per hole is as listed below.

NOTE: This game was created for one of the pioneering groups that use ScoreLynx. The point values listed below match their specific game. I work with this group periodically to “tweak” the points to help make the game as fair as possible for their group. If you have a particular game that your group uses, I’d be happy to work with you to customize ScoreLynx for your needs. See contact information to get in touch with me for a request like this.
