Modified Stableford Point Calculator
Enter the player's expected total score (minimum 51 for all eagles, maximum 180 for all 10s)
These are the absolute min/max possible - not what's likely to happen!
Showing representative combinations that achieve each point total. Each row shows one way to reach that point value.

Calculate how partnering affects expected points. The weaker player benefits from using the stronger player's tee shots.
Tee Shot Value: Tee shots account for ~40% of hole difficulty. Better position = shorter approach with better angle.
Skill Gap: Larger gaps between partners = more potential benefit for weaker player.
Utilization: Weaker players can't fully capitalize on great positions - a 100-shooter won't hit tour-quality approaches even from the fairway.
Estimate: Weaker player saves 0.2-0.4 strokes/hole depending on skill gap and ability to utilize the better position.
