Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The stableford scoring system rewards aggressive play.

Answer: True

Stableford scoring rewards a birdie with 2 points, yet a bogey only subtracts 1 point. So in theory, it's better to go for a birdie on risky holes. With Stableford scoring, you want to have the most points. Pars are worth 0, Birdies are worth 2, Eagles are worth 5, and Bogeys are worth -1.
2. When addressing the ball for a tee shot, you accidentally tap the ball and it falls off the tee. At this point, you must play the ball as it lies.

Answer: False

A stroke is only counted when the player intentionally swings at the ball.
3. Which PGA Major tournament is always played at the same course?

Answer: The Masters

Played every year at Augusta National, in Georgia.
