Match Play Index<\/h1>\n

The following method provided by Golf Australia provides for a fairly-even distribution throughout the round. It also disregards hole difficulties (acknowledging that a 30-handicapped player receives 5 strokes from a 25-handicapped player, which is also what a 5-handicapped player receives from a scratch-handicapped player, but that there can be clear differences in the holes a 5-handicapped player and scratch-handicapped player will find the most challenging). It is fair to players on all handicap levels, and it has proved satisfactory in use. It avoids allocating low-numbered strokes to the last two holes so players receiving few strokes will have the opportunity to use these before a match is decided. It also avoids allocating low-numbered strokes to the first three holes in case a match goes to extra holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Note: When using the match play index in match play competitions, the index should be adapted when a match commences at any other hole on the course other than the 1st. Hole 1 in the recommendation should apply to the first hole to be played, Hole 2 to the second hole to be played, etc.<\/p>\n
