Reading the Countback thread and find myself questioning why exact handicaps aren't used to determine the placings in the event of a tie?
Why do we use the countback system - why not use exact handicaps rather than rounded 'playing' ones?
I know there's no perfect solution but countback seems a bit arbitrary (and of course play-offs only make sense or are feasible for the odd comp such as maybe the club champs)
Am I missing something obvious?
Anybody any idea?
this type of question is moot until the handicap system as a whole is addressed - the current system is broken for anyone not playing very regular medal golf
