About Stableford Scoring
When you select the Stableford scoring method (
Activities and App Settings, page 36
), points are awarded
based on the number of strokes taken relative to par. At the end of a round, the highest score wins. The device
awards points as specified by the United States Golf Association.
The scorecard for a Stableford scored game shows points instead of strokes.

Viewing the Direction to the Pin
The PinPointer feature is a compass that provides directional assistance when you are unable to see the green.

accuracy of the compass.
