Good thing about playing on a 9 hole course is you get to tee off on all the holes, first 9 off odds, so tee off on the first, second nine still off odds but 11th is the second, if you see what i mean

I'm playing in a foursomes comp tomorrow, but it's strokeplay. My partner is low single figures HI and I'm high teens.
My view is that I should take the even holes, which are largely longer and lower SI but have easier tee shots. It should leave him with the difficult approach shot, me with a chip and him making the first putt. It also gives him the tee shot on 3 of the 4 par 3s, none of which are easy.
More importantly, he has to tee off on the first when there will be an audience.
He disagrees, funnily enough.

The amount of times in a county foursomes match my partner has said - "I'll take the evens"...:rolleyes:
