This is for those who fully understand scoring for pairs matchplay. Handicaps as far as I know where 3/4's

If there are 2 pairs playing in a match:
Pair 1, Player A 4HCAP, Player B 9HCAP
Pair 2, Player C 16HCAP, Player D 20HCAP

Hole 1: (Par 4 Score Index 3)
Player A 6
Player B 5
Player C 7
Player D 5

Which pair win the hole.

Also how are scores calculated on each hole relative to the score index.
 
Players B and D halved it.

(Traditional) Matchplay rules are that lowest handicap gets no strokes anywhere and others get 3/4 of difference from him/her.

So B gets 4 shots; c gets 9 and D gets 12. - with shoys on those Stroke Indexed holes.

3 get strokes, with the 2 5s halving it.

I think this is right:
Player A as lowest has no shots and everyone else gets 3/4 the difference if them. So B gets 4, C gets 9 and D gets 12.

So, with those as the now fixed handicaps, player D now only gets one shot on index 3, therefore the hole is halved.

Assuming this was a fourball betterball match, that's how I see it.

Or have I missed something?
 
B & D halve the hole in 5 nett 4's.

Strokes are taken against A as the low handicapper on the basis of 3/4 of the difference (4,9 & 12 in this case) according to the SI of the holes ie on SI 1-4 everyone deducts 1 from their score v A

Edit - I can't handle small phone screens and keyboards fast enough around here!
 
Player B receives a stroke on SIs 1-4
Player C receives a stroke on SIs 1-9
Player D receives a stroke on SIs 1-12

Hole halved by B and D with nett 4's


Fairly straight forward what's the punch line?

I thought exactly the same thing, Duncan!
 
All you need to do is take the difference of each player's handicap from the lowest player. Then divide each by 3/4.
B gets 1 shot, C gets 6 and D gets 9.

It's actually 'multiply' each by 3/4s :rolleyes:

'Take 3/4s of' works though. And we knew what you meant!
