Score Differential in Bogey Comp

[cliveb]

All this discussion is leading me to believe that there is absolutely no way that a bogey competition should be qualifying.

I agree. But this isn't about what should be, it's about what the actual rules are at present.

I think the case was that your holes up or down related to your score to par, three up, three under etc.

But now I believe that for handicap you just play as though it was stroke play, so even having lost a hole you still try to score a net bogey.

Ruined the mindset that used to apply to bogey comps as you're now distracted by your stroke play score.

Presumably this is one of the reasons that other jurisdictions allow most likely scores.
