Stroke indices

Now the summer competitions are over, it's interesting to look at the difficulties of each hole compared to the current stroke indices. The table below shows for the last season the current stroke index, the "scratch" index - ie without taking account of handicap - and the index after taking account of player's handicaps.

Most were in line; the anomaly of 11 & 12 is well known, but it's interesting that the 17th was the easiest hole.
