Stroke Play
Simply calculate the player gross score and net score and figure out the leader. Simplest of the methods but for a daily golf round this sometimes becomes boring as the final result does show up somewhat later in the round
No of Player per group: As many as you want.
Stable Ford
Points are awarded based on the Net score on each of the golf holes. Simply calculate the player per hole and the golfer with maximum points wins. The points details is as below:
No of Player per group: As many as you want.
- Double Eagle: 5 points
- Eagle: 4 points
- Birdie: 3 points
- Par: 2 points
- Bogey: 1 point
- Double Bogey or more:0 points
This is an interesting format and with live leaderboard one can plan each hole whether to be aggressive or not. For example on Strokeholes you can be aggressive and try to get a gross birdie (net eagle) and if you mess up Bogie (Net par) you still get some points.
