Not that it really matters, but if some tosser - polite or otherwise - challenges who has the honour in a Stableford, ask him to read rule 32-1.
I'd say this is one of the most abused rules. Certainly round here if I have the honour and get a par then my mate gets a par with a shot and 3 points, he never takes the tee. That said I've played were even in a medal, if there's no outright winner the honour doesn't change which again is in breach of the rules technically. But as above it only really matters in matchplay and there's no penalty in stroke play...... strange though how different areas tend to do their own thing.
One thing that hacks me off is on the first tee, when you get the "I'm the lowest handicap so I'm having the honour" kind of player.
