Founded in 1891, Wallasey Golf Club is the home of the Stableford scoring system. As the story goes, Dr. Frank Stableford, a member of the club, was frustrated while playing on a particularly windy day so he devised his new scoring system. To this day, it is used in many “club” events as a more enjoyable method of keeping score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
