This is why the Stroke Index system was designed for matchplay not strokeplay. Both CONGU and the USGA have recommended procedures (essentially the same) for allocating the SI.
You know what, on reflection, you're right. One hole or 18 the handicap should apply.

It was also nice to be persuaded by a reasoned argument with facts rather than the slanging match some message boards descend to - one of the strengths of GTO most of the time.
