If you had scored 16 pars and had two birdies, your total would be 38 points, etc. 2 points per hole x 18 holes = 36 points).
If you score a par on every hole, you will end up with 36 points. Double-bogey or higher= No points (also known as a 'wipe').Points are awarded on each hole, depending on how well you score. Instead of aiming for the lowest total/nett score (as in stroke play, above), a golfer aims to accumulate the highest number of total points in a round. This is a basic points-based system, and the most common of golf scoring formats in Australia.
