We play something similar to this at times.... It is a good day to stay in the club for a bet and a beer. Have no idea if this is it for you though.

Mmm sounds ok I guess.. I'm guessing your round would still go to your handicap as it is a Stableford scoring system then..

Thanks popper!

Doubtful, unless the club gets everyone to mark their score on the card. Which I suppose they could....

My club has a specially designed card for the day where they only give you the option of putting the required scores for the holes. ie in the first 6 holes where there are only 2 scores required there is only room to put those two scores. Like I said, depends on your club I guess.
