| Re: Handicap for Matchplay Yup, we agree completely, you were able to word it more succinctly than I was... And what I should have said was "Player A (the lower marker) is having to concede 1 stroke per hole on 6 SPECIFIC holes (namely holes 1-6 by Stroke index) over the course being played on the day of the match, regardless of whether the match goes only 10 holes or 30 holes." What I meant when I said that the holes conceded where then decided by lot, my intent was that the stroke index is specific to each course uniquely (the "Course" being the full 18 holes) and (as I understand it at least) the hole difficulty is statistically determined using past results at the course in question. But I guess that's another discussion thread altogether... Cheers |
