The Stableford format lends itself to be one of the most inclusive in golf by rewarding golfers with points for good holes, instead of punishing them for bad ones. One of the biggest benefits of Stableford is the ability to pick up at any time and simply take a zero for the hole. Something golfers of any skill level can relate to.

For the past few years Alberta Golf has run net Stableford divisions in both the Senior Ladies and Ladies Amateur Championships. While the participation in these divisions does not yet rival that of the Championship stroke play side, it is gaining momentum. Over the last two years, 16 seniors have elected to play on the net Stableford side, allowing them to compete for the ever-popular Marg Ward trophy. There are a few reasons for making net Stableford an entirely separate division. First, it allows for the players to compete from a different tee, usually more forward than the stroke play side. Second, it allows for the stroke play championship to remove any net components, instead this side of the tournament has very small gross flights, providing fun and fair 3-day rivalries. The net Stableford side has no flighting, as everyone finds even ground for their net point totals.

If you have ever been curious about playing in a provincial championship, Stableford presents an easy and less intimidating way to check it out!
