The event format for this MSGA One Day was a Stableford format. In Stableford, players earn points based on their performance on each hole. Instead of counting total strokes, points are awarded for scores in relation to a fixed target score. For this event, players received points as follows:
- Zero points: More than one over the fixed target score or no score return
- One point: One over the fixed target score
- Two points: Hitting the fixed target score
- Three points: One under the fixed target score
- Four points: Two under the fixed target score
- Five points: Three under the fixed target score
- Six points: Four under the fixed target score
For example, if a player scores one under par on a par-4 hole, they receive three points. The committee for MSGA One-Day tournaments employs the USGA-recommended method for breaking ties when a playoff is not feasible, as outlined in Committee Procedures 5A(6) of the Official Guide to the Rules of Golf.
Congratulations to all our winners, and thank you to the staff at Winter’s Run Golf Club for hosting a great day of golf!
