How to play Individual Quota (Stableford)

Everyone gets a points target from their handicap. Beat your quota by the most and you win — a 30-handicap can beat the club champ.

The rules

Points per hole on the gross card: double eagle 16, eagle 8, birdie 4, par 2, bogey 1. Your quota is 36 minus your course handicap (a 10 needs 26 points; a plus player needs more than 36). Finish the most points over your quota and you take first — the field ranks by points vs quota, not raw score. Handicaps do the equalizing up front, so there’s no net math on the card.

Plays best: Mixed-handicap groups — the fairest individual game there is, and blowup holes cost points, not the round.

Pick Individual Quota (Stableford) in Game setup and Tangent does the rest: every player scores on their phone (or their Tangent app round fills the card), pops come from each player’s handicap and tee, the live board shows where everyone stands, and the money settles itself at the end — no spreadsheet, no math at the bar.

Players who play their round in the Tangent app don’t type a thing: the app keeps their card, and the live board adds tour-style stats — fairways, greens in regulation, putts, longest drive and the shot of the day by strokes gained.
