question in my head I think I already know the answer but basically want it confirming I guess.
So over this past week we have been a lot of Four Ball better ball matches. I play off 10 and I'm the Lowest out of us. The other HC's are 13/16/25. What we have been doing is everyone just plays with their own handicaps. For example I just get 10 shots and the 25hc get 25 shots and we just play the best nett score wins the hole.
I've realised this is the wrong way. I should be playing off scratch and then everyone plays off me. My question, Is the way we have been playing it vs the way we should be playing it much different? If so, could you give me a simple explanation I could explain to the people I've been playing with as they might think I'm shafting them in some way
I'm super bad at explain things out loud, I'm not sure why. On the weekend we did a 3v3v3 scramble off scratch. To split the teams up as fair as we could I suggested we wrote down all the handicaps which were. 10/11/11/13/13/16/16/20/25 .. I suggested 3 lowest captains. You put the 2 13's into separate teams and then the 20 and 25 will go into the same teams as the 13's leaving the 2 16's left to go into the remaining teams. I basically said it like that and it went over everyone's head then I just gave up and said do what you want
Teams turned out 10/16/25 (My team), 11/13/20, 11/13/16
vs the way I suggested 10/13/25, 11/13/20, 11/16/16
