"Stableford scoring was invented to deter golfers from giving up on their round after just one or two bad holes — and that's exactly the spirit we play with every Wednesday."

Our Story

A League Built on
Fun & Fair Play

The Wednesday Fun League brings together golfers of all skill levels for a weekly round at the historic Manor Valley Golf Course in Export, PA. Whether you're a scratch golfer or carrying a high handicap, our format keeps every round competitive and enjoyable from the first tee to the last putt.

We play 9 holes each Wednesday afternoon — rotating between the Front Nine and Back Nine throughout the season — making it easy to fit into your week without a full-day commitment.

With Stableford scoring and handicap adjustments built in, a bad hole is never a round-ruiner. Pick up your ball, move on, and stay in the game. That's the Wednesday Fun League way.

The Format

How Stableford Scoring Works

Instead of counting every stroke, you earn points on each hole based on your net score. One disaster hole won't sink your entire round.

🎯
Points, Not Strokes
Each hole is worth points based on how you score relative to par. Birdie? 3 points. Eagle? 4 points. Double bogey or worse? Zero — and you pick up and move on, keeping pace of play fast.
♟️
Handicap Adjusted
Your course handicap dictates how many strokes you receive on the hardest holes by Stroke Index. This levels the playing field so a 5-handicapper and an 18-handicapper genuinely compete against each other.
Keep It Moving
Already hit double bogey on a hole? Pick up — you've scored zero. This rule keeps rounds brisk and ensures nobody falls behind. Our Wednesday format runs 4:00–5:15 PM, so it's built for efficiency.
🏆
Most Points Wins
The player with the most Stableford points wins the round. Season standings accumulate weekly totals across all 20 weeks, with three distinct periods and special events throughout the year.

Understanding Handicaps

How Handicaps
Level the Field

Your handicap determines how many bonus strokes you receive across the 9 holes, allocated to the hardest holes first by Stroke Index.

4 HCP
Receives one stroke on the 4 hardest holes (Stroke Index 1–4). Par on those holes effectively becomes one shot easier.
9 HCP
Receives one stroke on every hole (Stroke Index 1–9). Every par is achievable with a bogey on the card.
13 HCP
Receives one stroke on all holes, plus an extra stroke on the four hardest — making birdies very achievable on certain holes.
18 HCP
Receives two strokes on all 9 holes — meaning a double bogey still earns 2 Stableford points, keeping every hole worth playing.

How Net Score is Calculated

1
Play the hole and record your gross score (actual strokes taken).
2
Apply your handicap strokes. If your handicap entitles you to a stroke on this hole, subtract one from your gross score.
3
Compare your net score to par. Net birdie = 3 pts. Net par = 2 pts. Net bogey = 1 pt. Net double or worse = 0 pts.
4
Record your Stableford points for the hole and move to the next tee.
5
Total your points across all 9 holes. Your round score is reported and logged in the WFL Scoring Tracker.
