    Playing a match play and a Stableford match at same time?

    According to the rules of golf, are you allowed to play a match play and a Stableford match at the same time?

    For example, if you are a member at a golf course, can you play on men's night (which uses a modified Stableford scoring system) and play a match play at the same time?

    What happens in cases where a penalty is assessed and, in stroke play it's a 2-stroke penalty and in match play, it's a loss of hole? An example would be grounding your club in a hazard... I would think you would be penalized two strokes in your Stableford match and your opponent would win the hole in the match play, correct?

    Depending on how formal your environment is, you could obviously just mark the hole as lost for match play, but play the ball the rest of the way to maintain your stableford score.

    Basically, I want to know, in the most formal way, if this is admissible... We do it all the time at our course because the schedule for the match play is so strict and tight that there's no way people could play both men's night, their match plays and the club tournaments without combining men's night and match play together

    Rule 33-1.
    Certain specific Rules governing stroke play are so substantially different from those governing match play that combining the two forms of play is not practicable and is not permitted. The results of matches played and the scores returned in these circumstances must not be accepted.
