Congratulations to Ric Haddleton on winning the Cecil McPhee trophy in a close contest with 3 players all scoring 36 points. This led to much confusion in the countback. At the end of a round the “stableford off scratch” scoring method produces the same number of stableford points as the “standard” method and the cards should balance as per normal. However it is incorrect to use the points shown on today’s back nine in a countback as these points do not take into account the distribution of hole index and a player’s handicap. Therefore today’s count back was based on the normal stableford scoring and was in line with the Miscore printed sheet.
