STROKEPLAY

THE BEST NETT SCORE USING CURRENT HANDICAP AFTER 18 HOLES STROKEPLAY WINS.  IF NETT SCORES ARE EQUAL AFTER 18 HOLES THE RESULT IS CALCULATED ON COUNTBACK BEST NETT BACK NINE USING ½EXACT HANDICAP, IF STILL TIED THEN NETT BACK SIX USING 1/3 EXACT HANDICAP, THEN NETT BACK 3USING 1/6 EXACT HANDICAP).  IF THIS STILL FAILS TO RESOLVE A TIE, THE MATCH SHOULD BE REPLAYED OVER 18 HOLES.

PAIRS

FOUR BALL BETTER BALL MATCHPLAY

THE PERSON WITH THE LOWEST HANDICAP CONCEDES STROKES TO THE OTHER THREE PLAYERS. THIS IS CALCULATED ON ¾ OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HANDICAPS.   Eg. MARY HAS AN 8 HANDICAP AND HER PARTNER LUCY PLAYS OFF 12.  THEY ARE PLAYING AGAINST MAGGIE OFF 24 AND RUTH OFF 36.  SINCE LUCY HAS THE LOWEST HANDICAP (8) THIS IS REGARDED AS THE ‘BASE’ SO LUCY WILL HAVE 3 STROKES WHICH IS ¾ DIFFERENCES OF 4.  MAGGIE WILL GET 12 STROKES (3/4 OF 16) AND RUTH 21 (3/4 OF 28).

SCRATCH MATCHPLAY
