18 hole playoff

[ledders11]

Hi

I recently drew in an 18 hole matchplay and because of bad light could not play any playoff holes so agreed to play an 18 hole playoff. since our match my opponents handicap has gone up by 1 from 12.4 to 12.5. Anyone know if he should be playing off 12 or 13 in our 18 hole playoff?

Thanks

Should be the HC from the original comp

He should play off the handicap he had when the match started. The play-off is only an extension of the stipulated round, not another match.

I would also suggest you check with the committee that you are allowed to play off over 18 holes, chances are there will be competition rules that stipulate what you have to do in the event of the match being all square.

This! Don't just assume rules or start making up your own. That is not fair to anyone else in the competition.

Also the handicap cannot change mid match!

[h=2]33-6/4[/h][h=4]Players Decide Method of Settling Tie When Committee Fails to Do So[/h]Q.A and B, in a club match-play event in which the Committee had not prescribed how a halved match would be decided, finished their stipulated round all square. A suggested that the tie be decided by an 18-hole play-off. B reluctantly agreed. A won the play-off. B protested to the Committee. He argued that the match should have been settled by a hole-by-hole play-off, since that is the customary manner of deciding a tie in club events. What should the Committee do?
A.Since the Committee did not prescribe the method of settling the tie, it was appropriate for the players to determine the method. Since the players agreed to an 18-hole play-off, the match should stand as played.
