...all kinds of reasons....
...including those by RulesNut, but...
I play a couple of matches per year where I play 3 or more simultaneous matches, so I'm not always playing to beat a single score or player. I just want to know how to post them. In fact one of my best rounds of my life was playing on an OVGA intersectional squad. I can imagine that my handicap would have been artificially high if I had not posted that score.
Also, I don't find that I take unnecessary risks when I am playing stroke play, just to lower my handicap. Therefore, I rarely make an adjustment based on my opponent. Perhaps I might play for a par instead of a birdie when my opponent has cranked one OB, but you'd be surprised how a guy can make an incredible swing or two and come back for a par or bogey after an OB. Keeping the pressure on is a staple of match play, like Ryder Cup play. I think I play just as seriously for match play as stroke play, and it's most often the course, rather than the opponent, that dictates what I can do, or try.

O.V.G.A. intersectionals (simultaneous matches) are played under a form of play called Three-Ball Match Play. There are only two slight Rules modifications that deal with an opponent touching or being touched by your ball (which affect his strokes taken not yours).
Players are required to submit Handicap scores in the same manner as in all other recognized forms of play.
