Match Play:
You are matching your score against another person. If handicaps are used, strokes are allotted according to the handicap holes. A match is over when the winning player (or Team) is more holes up than there are holes left to play. 3 and 2, the winner (When a match ends 3 and 2, the winner is 3 holes ahead of the opponent when only 2 holes are left to play.)
Match vs Par:
You play a match between par for the course vs your par. Example: Par on #1 is a 5; you score a 5 with your handicap. You are even with par so you mark "0" on your scorecard below your score. If you scored a 6 with your handicap, you would be down to the par on that hole and you would mark a "-" on your scorecard. If you scored a 4 with your handicap, you would be up to the par on that hole and you would mark a "+". At the end of the match you subtract your "-" from your "+" and record your score as -3 or +4 or 0 or whatever it is. ...
