Enter your gross score for each hole. The calculator applies your playing handicap, computes your net score, and shows whether you win or lose each hole vs par.

In a bogey competition, you play each hole against a fixed target (par). Using your Playing Handicap, you receive handicap strokes on certain holes — the most difficult holes (lowest Stroke Index) first.
Net score = Gross score − Handicap strokes received on that hole. Handicap strokes are allocated to holes in order of their Stroke Index (SI 1 gets strokes first).
Final result is the sum of wins and losses across all 18 holes — expressed as "3 up", "Level" or "4 down."
Per WHS, the Playing Handicap for bogey competition is 95% of Course Handicap, rounded to the nearest whole number.
Always check your club's competition conditions — some clubs use 100% or a different allowance.
Any positive result (net UP) is a good round. A scratch golfer playing to par would finish level; most amateurs aim for +2 to +5 in a well-played round.
No. In Stableford you score 2 points for net par, 3 for birdie etc. and can score 0 but not negative. In bogey competition each hole is +1 or −1 and your total can go negative.
If you can't complete a hole for a score equal to net bogey or better, you record a loss (−1) for that hole.
