I gave this some thought, and I reckon you're best off - if a course you know way better than he does isn't an option - playing at Kennedy.
If there was an area of the game you were superior at, it would make sense to play on a course that exploited that strength, but with the difference in handicaps between you and JC, I don't reckon it's likely there is one.
At least at Kennedy you know the course well and can play to a plan on - and with JC's last two matches there going to extra holes, he's far from a cert, isn't he?
Scottt, JC is a good match play player. I need to play very well to beat him, esp. at KB.
Parklands golf gives me a slight advantage, in that my strength over JC is finding fairways. Granted, my driver doesn't fly much further than his 4 iron, but it is my slight advantage nonetheless.
Match play is a different kettle of fish. The driver hardly leaves the bag. Granted, my last two matches went to 19 and 20 holes, but I also shot 75 and 76. Can't play much better on a course rating 74.
And you are correct, I am far from a cert on Kennedy. I forgot about another two matches I have had there. Correct record in match play comps is 16-3-1 including Simmsy and also when I had to give Shank Merkel 4 shots. (I had honestly forgot about that for 3 years until I was forced to remember who else I lost to). Now I am bitter....
Scottt, help Aldo out, you need to fins a course that favours a guy that likes to hit hybrids.
Funnily enough the hybrid only came out twice today if i'm not wrong, Adlo.......I was expecting it to make an appearance on most holes the way you guys were carrying on about it
