Contrary to the practice of many golfers, Player A does not get strokes on the 14 highest-ranked handicap holes while Player B gets strokes on 10. The proper way to allocate strokes in one-on-one match play is to subtract the lower handicap from the higher, then assign the difference to the weaker player.Handicap stroke holes are established to maximize the number of halved holes in a match by assigning strokes where player A most needs his four strokes in order to obtain a half on those holes.
