can anyone tell how other clubs work out the best back 9 score to determine who finishes where. At our club they half your handicap and take that from the score,meaning the higher handicap will usually come out on tops. I thought it was actually who has the best back 9 (gross)

Don't really follow the logic. If you knock 1/2 handicap off 9 holes isn't it just as likely to be a high/low handicapper who's lowest as knocking all the handicap off 18 holes? I don't see how this method, which is what all clubs do btw, favours higher handicappers ??
