Stableford - who wins when points are equal

I too hate countback, Ive lost a placing in the top 3 twice because of it and I have lost 2nd place 3 times and a 1st once all because of the dreaded countback, yet never had the pleasure of benefit from countback .

Who decided this method was the fairest way to judge positions

I would rather be given the placing and equal share of the loot rather than demoted to a lesser prize or not even that for my efforts, on the basis of who did better on the back nine .

Any contest can have a fair solution either by playing extra holes, or accepting a putting contest or even nearest the pin challenge on a hole, anything but countback!

Mind you I doubt those who benefit from countback would agree
