If your club followed the CONGU recommendation, SI 1 would not be on Hole 9 in the first place. It would be near the middle of either the outward or the inward half depending on which half the odd numbers had been allocated to. SI 2 would be near the middle of the other half. The recommendations are detailed and a bit complex but the main point is that they are designed for match play and include advice on the distribution of indices if matches are sometimes started on the 10th. Page 76 of the CONGU manual if you have any energy left after such an impressively long argument!
I will pass it on to my friend - ironically he is a member of the committee and in theory someone who would rule on any rule infraction - and perhaps this is something that the club needs to look at then and change the SI on hole 9. Thanks again for your input.
