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.
