We've had a change at our club this year in our club Knockout matches. It's always been 3/4 the difference handicap allowence but this season it's changed to full difference. I personally think this is a load of B/S but apparently it's an R&A idea as most club knockouts are won by the low handicappers.
I have two major problems with it
#1). Maybe the knockout's are being won by the lower handicapper because he's the better player?
#2). How many times a season do you see an untoachable score by a 18 handicapper or so who plays to single figures? for a Low handicapper to compete he'd have to shatter the course record... thats why 3/4 the difference was correct. The bigger the Handicap the more potential for a blitz score.
