I read it as Chris and his PP were off 13 and 14, getting 3 and 4 strokes so no strokes at index 5 or 7.
You're the expert , you tell me
He'd lose 2 shot holes, while there'd be no effect on the opposition. So, effectively (only) his handicap has been artificially reduced.
It would seem, to me, fairer that, for this (16 hole) match, SI 6 becomes SI 5 SIs 8 and 9 become SIs 6 and 7 resp. Then the 16/18ths of Handicaps should also be applied to all handicaps before determining 90% of difference. Off the top of my head, I believe, in this case, 18-capper would lose 2 shots, with others not affected.

We had this at ours and it was just play 16 holes as per the card. Reasoning being, that whoever was losing shots, was not in fact playing the holes where they needed them. ie, no one was losing out. Not exactly scientific, but it seemed to work.
Surely, it is up to the Committee of the club to decide how to deal with such issues? They could have conditions such as:
All 18 holes must be in play;
A minimum number of holes must be in play, and if they are, just get on with it (it is winter)
Is it not dangerous asking the individual players to deal with it themselves? Inevitably, someone will feel like they are losing out. Or, the team that loses may be upset, because they may feel if all 18 holes were open, they could have pulled it back in last 2 holes. Besides, what if they agreed to something that was advised on this thread, and it conflicted with guidelines for that competition set by the Committee?

Just call the two holes he loses shots a half .
After all if he needs a shot a half is a good result.
Then just play the card as is .

Its easier to get my handicap down than to change it on here ??
If he expects to win them he shouldn’t be getting any shots then!
