A variant of strokeplay is stableford scoring, where a number of points (two for the target score) are given for each hole, and the fewer shotstaken, the more points obtained, so the aim is to have as many points as possible. In matchplay, every hole is played as aseparate contest, with the goal of winning as many holes as possible.
