Stableford Scoring System (How Does It Work?)

Did you know that stroke play, match play, best ball and scramble are not the only formats golfers can play? In fact, if you are an avid golfer, you may be interested in getting involved in some formats that are entirely different.

One of the most fun is the Stableford scoring system.

I’ll show you what Stableford is, how to keep track of your score and a few tips for winning your next Stableford event.

How Does the Stableford Scoring System Work?

Stableford scoring is a point system. Instead of counting your total number of strokes for a round of golf, you will convert your score on each hole into Stableford points.

Stableford points correlate to how well you play. The better you play, the more points you get.

RIPIT Golf Grips

Can you see it? Can you feel it? Golf style is slowly evolving. Golf shoes, golf shirts—heck, even golf gloves—are no longer offered in only boring, plain white.

RIPIT saw the traditional golf grip as the next blank canvas with which to express their own sense of style and art. The results are objectively awesome.

Let’s take a closer look at the budding “art” company that’s putting their loud (and sometimes brash) spin on the golf grip.

Need to Know

Available for purchase as singular grips or in a series of different package setsOver 20 grip styles and patternsMade of multi-compound rubber for tack and feelRelaxed taper from butt to tail

Pretty or Performance?

As mentioned, RIPIT’s grips are objectively awesome in style. But if they can’t do their job, they’re useless.

I immediately threw The Squiggle grip on my favorite wedge and pitted it against a stalwart in the world of grips: the Lamkin Crossline.

History’s Mysteries: The Solheim Cup Story

Welcome, friends, to another edition of History’s Mysteries. Today, MyGolfSpy dives into the fascinating back story of the Solheim Cup.

The concept that would become the Solheim Cup was conceived in the late 1980s by the leaders of the LPGA and Women’s European Tour (now the Ladies’ European Tour or LET). But it was the backing of PING and the Solheim family that made the women’s version of the Ryder Cup a reality.

Make no mistake. It doesn’t happen without the support and financial backing from Karsten, John and Louise Solheim.

Especially Louise.

The Solheim Cup: Decades in the Making

The Ryder Cup dates to 1927. British merchant Samuel Ryder donated a trophy for a bi-annual match play tournament between the U.S. and Great Britain. Since 1979, it’s been the U.S. versus Europe.

For Direction Control: Focus on Your Finish!

Too many golfers create poor golf shots because they only focus on hitting the ball. In reality, you will hit more consistent shots if you focus on swinging through the ball to a balanced finish. Your setup should take care of all of the most important variables. Finishing your follow-through will help you control your club face THROUGH the point of impact.

Your Setup Solves All of the Important Swing Issues
1/ Choose the correct club to reach your target.
2/ Stance and grip are corrected for any slope on the ground
3/ Selecte your target line and a point a few feet beyond your ball for your line-up.
4/ Look directly at your ball with a calm state of mind
5/ You know that your driver is swinging to launch your ball UP and all other clubs are powering DOWN into your ball to possibly take a divot AFTER the ball.

Your Actual Swing Thoughts Are Simple
A. Take enough time to rotate your hips then shoulders, arms and wrists for your backswing.
B. SWING TO A BALANCED FINISH.

Focus on finishing your swing in balance to enjoy your moment of ecstasy as you watch your ball hit your target.

Enjoy the moment. Swing through your ball and up your target line with enough power to end your swing, balanced on your leading foot and your club over your leading shoulder, as you watch your majestic ball flight.

During every golf shot, focus on your finish position so that your club face will automatically square-up with your ball as it powers up your target line (avoiding any rush in your hands to slice or hook your ball). Practice with GOLFSTR+ to focus on the end result of your balance swing. Buy one today at www.GOLFSTR.com
