I am in the process of organising my club's next seasons mens singles matchplay KO competition and I would like to have the opinion of other club members as to whether their should be FULL HANDICAP difference allowance or less e.g. 3/4 difference?

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.
I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.
For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
Re: Handicap allowance in mens matchplay competitions
IMO, handicap events always favour a high capper (someone who can shoot 101 today and 128 tomorrow), therefore I like percentage of cap - around 80%.

Re: Handicap allowance in mens matchplay competitions
Kind of long, but a good arguement for full handicaps.

My club's matchplay knockout event event was won by our low marker, a young fellow off 2. And he beat 2 guys in his four rounds where he had to "give them the course"......
Pretty impressive actually.
Bottom line, play better than your handicap on any given day and you are a chance to win...
And with high cappers, they seem less likely to do so week in week out...
Being a high capper, I know this is true of me anyways...

Re: Handicap allowance in mens matchplay competitions
Our knockout singles is match play and the full difference between handicaps are given. The same applies to club pennant (women's).
Yet in our Club Championships, there are no strokes given.
Either way I'm not fussed as in match play, the better golfer on the day will win.
