Best Answer

For a round of Golf, the net score for a player is their gross score minus their handicap. The net score for one hole is the gross for the hole, minus the strokes allowed for the hole. The stroke index for the hole and the players handicap is used to determine how many strokes you get, and on which holes.

Net stroke match play is the same as normal matchplay with the difference being there is a handicap allowance. If a player gets a shot on a hole and makes 5 and his partner makes 4, his stroke reduces his score to 4 and the hole is halved. It is a way of making the game fairer and ensuring that all players play on a level playing field.

What is a golf medley stableford?

Stableford is a method of scoring in golf where points are allocated to the player's net score. 1 point for a bogey, 2 points for Par, 3 points for a Birdie and 4 points for an Eagle. Eg. On a Par 4 hole an 18 handicapper gets one stroke - So if that golfer takes 4 strokes on the hole ( a gross par) he ends up with 4 strokes minus the handicap of 1 for a net 3 strokes (birdie) - he is given a net birdie and so receives 3 points for that hole. The highest number of points wins the competition. If it is a Medley then both Men and Women can compete in the round.
