You would be put down mate
plenty think thats the best option currently anyway
The 1st hole is SI 9 and the 18th is SI 10. They are pretty much equally difficult par-4 holes with water hazards. The 1st is a bit longer and slightly downhill, while the 18th is shorter but a bit uphill near the green. I personally wouldn't argue about their stroke indexes! Also the front nine are odd SI's and the back nine are evens.Course actually plays significantly longer than its yardage because of significant elevation changes - where, like wind, the negative effect playing uphill is much greater than the positive effect of playing downhill - and there are a couple of side-hill challenges as well! That's why the SSS is what it is!
As for Del's ongoing whinge.....Bob's correct - play the long holes as 'bogey' ones and take the 2 points! The Stroke index at Batchworth actually pretty much matches (what I believe is) the difficulty of the holes on a 'normal' day! - except I'd swap the 1st & 18th SIs!

Karen, Glenbervie has just had a Gents SSS set for the Red tees at the request of the Seniors, we already have 2 medals a year that you can play off either White or Yellow tees, sounds like it may now include Reds. We also have some Saturday Medals that are open too male & female members.Yeah and it's no big deal in the grand scheme of forum meets but it'd be ideal if the yellow and white tees at most courses also had women's par and SSS. I know I go on about this a lot but I think it'd be great!
Ps I don't think Whites or Yellows have a SSS for Ladies.

Most of our senior comps and club monthly mid week comps are played off the yellows. Funny though, I definitely am longer at 63 than I was at 53 but I guess it won't be too far away that I'll start losing distance!
