MATCH PLAY This traditional form of the game sees two individuals or sides competing against each other with the number of holes won or lost deciding the match.

The match is completed when one side is ahead after the stipulated number of holes or is more holes up than the number of holes remaining to be played.

The number of strokes awarded in this competition is the difference between the players’ handicaps.

If strokes are awarded to player, the holes on which they will receive these strokes, are indicated on the Match Play card supplied.

Where there are more than 18 stokes difference between players’ handicaps, the higher handicapped players will receive 2 or 3 strokes per hole where applicable.

It is usual for the committee to prescribe sudden-death continuation if a match is all square after the required holes. In this case, handicap strokes are used as per the original round.
