3 vs 2 | Golf Monthly

There were 5 of us playing today and when we were due to tee off there was no-one else anywhere near the first tee, so we decided to play as a 5-ball.

We decided that if anyone were to get anywhere near behind us we'd either split to a 3 and a 2 or let them through.
As it was we were catching up the three a couple of holes in front of us, and pulled away from the 2 ball that started about a hole and a half behind us!
I still felt like a naughty schoolboy all the way round though.

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of playing as a group of 5 (which I'm not asking for debate on), we needed a format as we usually play matchplay when there are 4 of us.

Our handicaps were 6, 10, 11, 11 and 12.

I suggested that the 6 and 10 play together against the other 3 players, but all off levels as a way to balance out the team of 3 having one more score on each hole to choose from.

Whadayareckon? Fair or not? Was there a better way?

The poll is which advantage is bigger, and therefore which team would you have as favourites?
