Can you get more distance with a stiff shaft?
Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the way you swing. It is widely believed that a slow swinger would get more distance with a softer shaft.
Flex only determines where the clubface is at impact. If you have a fast swing speed and a regular flex shaft, you will put too much load on that shaft and it will release or un-load too soon, so the clubhead will be closed or shut at impact causing you to hook it. A slower swing speed with a stiff shaft causes a slice because you are not able to put enough of a load into that shaft so it will not release fast enough, so when you get back to impact it hasn't released fully meaning the clubhead will be open. Shaft has nothing to do with distance, the ball you play and hitting it square will get you the distance.
How do you calculate combination of system 36 and stableford in golf?
Do you mean a 36 handicap? If so you would get 2 extra points per hole.
Playing off scratch in a Stableford Competition you would get two points per hole if you completed the hole in par, one over par you would get 1 point.
So a player with a 36 handicap would get four points for each hole you completed in par. For a Bogey on any hole you would get 3 points and for a Birdie you would get 5 points. The Rules on Stableford are readily available from your Golf Club Professional.

Who is the greatest sportsman ever?
Sir Don Bradman is the greatest sportsman who ever lived
Sir Don Bradman averaged a century every 2.76 innings and averaged 99.94 in one of the most skilled sporting positions in the world - a batsman in cricket.
There are many great sportsman - Muhammud Ali, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Rod Laver, Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Sachin Tendulkar (cricket - who averages 56 & scores a century every nearly 5.8 innings) and many others who are considered all time great sportsman. However, they would all have to double every stactistic within their own sport in their own era - then those stactisitcs would have to remain almost twice as good as all the competitors in every era that followed to even be mentioned as a contender of the greatest sportsman of all time.
Bradman still holds the following significant records for Test match cricket today!
- Highest career batting average 99.94
- Highest series batting average (5 Test series): 201.50
- Highest ratio of centuries per innings played
- Highest 5th wicket partnership: 405 (with Sid Barnes, 1946--47)
- Highest 6th wicket partnership: 346 (with Jack Fingleton, 1936--37)
- Highest score by a number 5 batsman: 304 (1934)
- Highest score by a number 7 batsman: 270 (1936--37)
- Most runs in one series: 974 (1930)
- Most centuries scored in a single session of play: 6 (1 pre lunch, 2 lunch-tea, 3 tea-stumps)
- Most runs in one day's play: 309
- Most double centuries: 12
- Most double centuries in a series: 3
- Most triple centuries: 2 (equal with Chris Gayle, Brian Lara and Virender Sehwag)
- Most consecutive matches in which he made a century: 6
- Bradman has averaged over 100 in seven different calendar years - No other player has achieved this in more than two calendar years.
- Fastest player to reach 2000 (in 22 innings),3000 (33 innings),4000 (48 innings),5000 (56 innings)and 6000 (68 innings) Test runs.
There are many arguments about the variations of strengths, weaknesses, conditions and depth within each era of all sporting debates - however no sportsman has dominated any sport to the same degree as Bradman.
Not taking into account the forever standing and unbroken records above - just to be on par with Bradman, Michael Jordan would have to average 70 points per basketball game (Jordan averages 31.5 per game) and the all time great baseballer, Ty Cobb would need to have a batting average of 508! (batting average is 366)
Who is the second best sportsman of all time is a good debate!

Why does sub-par mean bad when under par in golf is good?
You make a good point, it is a strange one. But in this context par is meant to mean, the average, of the usual quality etc, so below par essentially means sub standard, and has nothing to do with golf.
What is the average speed of a golf cart?
12 to 16 mph from the factory. They don't want you to get killed then sue. Many aftermarket companies manufacture motors and controllers to get you over 20 mph. Add a rear gear set, 48V and a 600 amp controller with a high speed/high rpm motor and you're going 35mph. Bottom line is that speed costs about $1500 in a golf cart.
