Match play handicap confusion
Example
White tees 70.0/118
Red tees 65.0/ 106
Two men with 7 hdcps are playing a match. One has only ever played from the reds and the other only ever played from the whites.
My understanding for their match the calculation is: 70.0-65.0=5
So the player from the red must give the player from the white 5 strokes.
Now when I look at the Golf Canada website I see course handicap and both players retain their 7 handicaps from either tee.
So now I'm confused.
The 7 hdcp from the white will in my opinion beat the 7 hdcp from the reds almost all the time if he is given 5 strokes.
So do they play straight up or does the player from the whites get 5 strokes added to then handicap?
