Scoring match play using handicaps is not done exactly the same way it is done in a stroke play event. In 18-hole stroke play where Player A is a 10 handicap and Player B is a 19 handicap, one stroke is deducted from Player A's score on the ten hardest holes (by handicap rating on scorecard).
In match play, the handicap difference between players (or teams) is used to determine the number of strokes the high handicap player should receive from the low handicapper during the playing of their round; each of these strokes are received on the lowest numbered stroke index holes. [14]
Some clubs allocate different indexes for match play and Stableford/par/bogey matches. [2] Handicap strokes are deducted from a player's score in the order of stroke index from indexed hole 1 to 18 recurring. For example, a player with a handicap of 12 would be given a stroke deduction only on the holes with stroke index 1 to 12.
