the bet the way it stands,,,i will go with men. they simply putt much better, esp pressure putts.

so, another way to attempt the equalize the field even more is to ask the men to pull back every putt 4 feet

I'm going to add a little twist to my answer: in a general USGA scenario, the men would probably be playing to a par of 70, while the women would be playing to a par of 71 or 72 (or even 73, as they did at Interlachen in 2008). I'd say that the men would shoot the lowest score overall, the women would shoot the lowest score relative to par.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      In the old days, pre-2020, "playing to your handicap" meant a net score about equal to the Course Rating.  that led to problems when people played against each other from different tees, people playing tees with a lower CR would generally shoot lower scores.  Course Handicaps were adjusted for each competition to make it even, usually lowering the course handicap for the "forward tee" players. So now if you "play to your handicap", the (68.4-72) term means your score will be even par, no matter which tees you play from.  No adjustment needed for people playing from different tees.  Look at your example, the guy shoots 82 every time, his Course Handicap of 10 gives him an even par net score every time.
