Match play is just low score wins the hole. I get a 4 you get a 5 I'm 1 up and so on. if the whole is tied, then it is halved. Simple. idea is to win more holes than your opponent through the 18. For example, I'm 3 up with 2 to play…..hence 3&2.
Match play is a hole by hole – you win a hole by getting less on it then the person you are playing. you win the match by winning more holes than your opponent. each golf course is different as far as par. some are 70 ands ome are 72 depending on the length of the course.
Match play is the original and purest form of golf competition. In match play two players play against each other hole by the hole, for 18 holes usually. A player wins a hole by having the lowest score on that hole. if the players tie their scores then the hole is "halved" The player winning the most holes in the match, wins the match. Rules are a little different than 'stroke' play which is simply adding all your strokes for the stipulated round. Golf courses can be any par really, par for a hole is determined by how many strokes an expert would need to reach the green and 2 more for putts. Example… a 150 yard hole would be a par 3 while a 550 yard hole would be a par 5. In your local library there are many good books that can describe all of this in detail. it is the greatest game in the world, learn and enjoy it.
In match play the player with the lowest score on each hole, wins that hole.
