I'd like to see the maximum HC be reduced to 18 for matchplay, one shot a hole is enough IMO
I'd also like to change where the strokes are given
for instance a 6 hc plays against an 18 hc - 12 strokes to be given
I'd like them to be given on stroke index 7-18 because the 6 HC should be making par on these and the 18 would normally get a shot on these holes - so making it a fairer playing field
they'd normally both get shots in strokeplay on stroke index 1-6, so the fact that neither would it would still be a level playing field
although I suspect mentally the 6hc would cope better with SI 1-6 than the 18hc
this works for all HC's as long as the maximum was 18
I know this may seem unfair or a bit harsh on 28 HC, but it would be no different than a 10 hc entering a scratch event, if you want to play in it then you can.
This has been talked about on here before and I think Jezz also suggested it in the mag. I happen to agree, why should you have to give a shot on a hole you would normally get a shot?
