Combining stroke play and match play?

Sultan_of_Ping

I'm pretty sure you can't without infringing the rules? Would this be correct?

Background......I've been drawn to play a match within the club and the guy I'm to play has put his name down on the weekend time sheet as part of a team stableford competition. He's suggesting playing the match while also playing the stableford competition!!! And is getting a bit snippy because I said I didn't want to because the formats require very different approaches.

Is it possible to play in a stableford competition, even as a single, and play a match against someone in the same group?

Rule 33-1 covers this

Certain specific Rules governing stroke play are so substantially different from those governing match play that combining the two forms of play is not practicable and is not permitted. The result of a match played in these circumstances is null and void and, in the stroke play competition, the competitors are disqualified.

I would dig my heels in, its hard enough to arrange matchplays without this kind of messing.

I wonder sometimes why some guys even put their names down when they can only play the 5th sunday of any month after 5 pm..
