Sat May 31st Individual Chicago Stableford

Chicago Stableford points are based on a quota and uses Stableford scoring to accumulate points vs your quota. The course handicap is 39. A golfer with a 1 handicap would have a quota of 38 and a golfer with a 20 handicap would have a quota of 19 and so on. The minimum quota is 2 for anyone with a handicap of 37 or higher. The scoring is 0 points for double bogey or higher, 1 point for bogey, 2 points for par, 4 points for birdie, 8 points for eagle.

So, for example, a 10 HDCP would have a quota of 29. If that player has 9 pars=18 and 2 birdies=8 and 6 bogeys=6 and 1 double bogey=0. His total would be 32 and he beat his quota by 3 points. The winners will beat their quota by the most points.
