Hi All,
Here's one for the TSG stato's out there to debate!
IF you are on a golf day and due to numbers you are playing off two tees......and there are two players returning with the same handicap scores after the round.....how do you conduct a countback?
They have both played a different last nine, three and six holes.... who wins?

I wouldn't see it as an insurmountable problem, coutback could be on designated holes (agreed before play commences) it might be holes 10-18 as SI would be the same for everyone. However the purists might suggest that there is some advantage in playing the second 9 first (still full of energy) or playing the scond 9 second (warmed up and with the measure of greens).
I think that a good way would be to select the middle six and work the countback on those... there will always be a difference of opinion - I have seen it before - and the ructions it created...
Best way is to agree up front and then there isn't an issue (extend the same idea to 'shotgun starts').
More discussion always welcome

I believe it is the back 9 - as in holes 10-18 that determine the winner, regardless of who started on what tee - unfair though this is. However, I'm liking Mr. Slater's post.

Judy is right - it is holes 10-18 regardless of which you've played first. After that , if it's still not settled, it is usually the back 6,3 and 1. If it's still level, the lower handicapper is the winner. Hmmm, fair enough, someone has to be.

I'm sure if Rachel had said it she would be right too.
