In match play, the 15 would get 12 shots. The 12 shots would be given, 1 each hole, on the 12 hardest rated holes, according to the scorecard.

In stroke play, the 15 would get 12 shots. If there are stroke play matches on the front and back nine (like a Nassau: front, back, total), the 15 would get 6 on the front and 6 on the back, for a total of 12.

Interesting, i never knew how the scoring worked out...
So then is the 15 getting those 12 strokes subtracted off of their card based on the skill level of their opponent?
As in: if I were to play a scratch, I would get the maximum number of strokes based on my max handicap deducted, meaning I would 'technically' be shooting sub 100?
