A Guide to the Rules of Match Play
Golf is played in two major forms: Match Play and Stroke Play.
In individual Stroke Play a player plays his/her own ball, in the company of others against a ‘field’ of other players, in a stroke, Stableford or par competition, over a designated number of holes ― usually 18, 36 or 72.
In individual Match Play two players – who are opponents ― play against each other on a hole-by-hole basis over a designated number of holes ― usually 18 or 36.
