In this video we review how to play golf using the match play game format. We explain how in match play you are playing a match against your playing partner rather than against the entire field. We also review how the aim in match play is to win holes rather than post the best score for the entire round. How you are allowed to give putts, also known as gimmies whereas you can’t do that when playing against the field. We cover why some matches end before the full 18 holes have been played and what it means to be 2-up, or all-square, for example.
Match play can be a real fun format to play because a bad hole played doesn’t ruin your entire round and scorecard but rather only costs you one hole.

Great explanation however does that mean handicaps dont matter in matchplay?

[@Golfdistillery]

Actually, match play tournaments can be played either with handicap or without.
