PAR The fixed score is determined by adding the players handicap allowance for the hole to the hole par value.

In addition, the reckoning of Stableford points awarded in relation to the player's fixed score at each hole shall be recorded in the third column for each hole as follows: ONE over fixed score 1 Fixed Score 2 ONE under fixed score 3 TWO under fixed score 4 THREE under fixed score 5 The aggregates for Stableford points are recorded for each 9 and 18 holes and are shown on the right side of the card. STROKE The marker shall record the gross score for each hole in the "player" column, as well as the stableford score.
