Is net score count-back the most common method of determining winners of handicapped stroke play competitions in your country?

Halebopp

Around here the lowest handicap wins, if that doesn't settle it, it's either draw or count back.

Mr. Bean

Much better? Why and by which standards? If two cards are otherwise equal but the other player by luck managed to score lower net on 18th hole while the other made a HIO on the 17th, how are all the holes used?

Halebopp

That's one of the regional differences. While we have recommendations for what those adjustments should be, it is also recommended that they aren't used in individual stroke play, match play, Stableford etc. It's also interesting we refer to your Course Handicap as Playing Handicap and your PH is our Competition Handicap. @Mr.

Was just thinking about this the other day because I lost a card off or "count back" for low gross, and then a second card off for low net (1 under gross, 2 under net).

davep043

We had a small comp a month ago that went to a count back. It was a shotgun start but all of OUR players started on 10 so the 9th hole was the last hole of 18 played.

nsxguy

I'm not sure what you mean by "our players", perhaps those involved in the tie were all in the same group? But my thought is that the Committee needs to clearly define it ahead of time. For a shotgun start, they may need to write something like "Holes 10 to 18, if not decided then Holes 13 to 18, ...etc".
