How it’s scored

  1. Gross strokes per hole, no shots, no net column.
  2. Eighteen holes added up. Lowest wins.
  3. A round with a hole missing is not a low score, it is no score — it sits under the finished cards, unranked.
  4. Your stableford and net birdies still run off the same round at the full handicap.

Handicaps

None. The allowance is nought rather than a hundred so nobody can read it as some shots.

The fine print

Why does an unfinished card show at all?

Hartley has a round played and no card to rank. He sits under the three who finished rather than vanishing.

Does a gross day cost me in the order of merit?

No. Stableford and net birdies are counted from the same round off the full handicap.

Is there a net stroke play?

Net is what stableford is for on a trip: a blob costs one hole rather than the round. Gross is here for the man who wants his strokes counted.
