It's based on most of what I have read on here from the posters who stay south of the border.
Come along to one of the big forum meets like H4H........oh hang on, they're all stablefords :rofl:

I never said he won anything. I fundamentally cannot agree someone only finishing 17 of 18 holes should be placed above someone who finished 18 holes, you are interpreting he never played hole 18.
You're talking about matchplay ye ? Matchplay ! not strokeplay, matchplay, and you want me to answer that do you ?
Nobody is born a scratch golfer so I really do not see your point.
Club's/societies who are forever running stableford competitions are just dumbing down golf as it is meant to be played and pandering to the mediocre.
I do, cos I think its a big gaping hole in your argument.
In matchplay you can play brilliant for 10-12 holes then guff in the others, whereas as someone overall could get a worse gross than you and still beat you.
Isnt that manufactured also?

He says he wants to start debate but doesn’t like it when people want to debate in return.
I've answered his post, what's not debating in that ? or is it selective posts you're using. There is no comparison in this topic to matchplay, seemples really, now, back in yer box if you've nothing to add.
So you think match play is a joke as well?
I think a lot of people will disagree,
Sorry but we're talking about strokeplay here as I'm often told, strokeplay, not matchplay so I see no resemblance.
You dont say anything about strokeplay in your opening gambit:-
Someone battles away for 18 holes, scores 33 points, playing partner only manages to finish 17 holes, scores 35 points.
The game is about 18 holes from memory.

If your sticking to your mantra of 18 holes and every shot counting, matchplay should be full score vs full score. Non?
Nope, he pulled a drive in to the trees, played his second shot then picked up, yet it seems it's hunky dory to just pick up in a competition and still be placed higher than someone who played and holes out at all 18 holes, bizzare I know but strangely true.
The point that many seem to be missing on this thread [Apologies if it has been raised as I have not real all posts]
There is a totally different mindset between playing stableford/scrabble competitions and stroke/match play competitions.
If you cannot understand that then you do not understand golf.

Well first of all - Stableford is strokeplay , that’s your first lack of understanding
Secondly why are you putting scramble in with Stableford? Scramble format despite not being a recognised format is mainly played as a medal
So to help your lack of understanding
Two formats of playing
Strokeplay - medal , Stableford, bogey , greensomes , Foursomes , 4BBB
Matchplay- Foursomes , singles , 4BBB , greensomes , Yellowstone’s etc
We can’t have you suggesting people don’t understand the game when you seem to struggle
Are attempting to say that the mindset [which of course was the bit that you ignored] for playing Stableford and Medal strokeplay is the same.
