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?

if you are a 15 and you play a 'scratch', you would get 15 shots. in a head-2-head match, the lower handicap players score is not adjusted, only the higher handicappers score is adjusted down.

If you are in a stroke play tournament with 'net' payouts, everyone in the field, would have their scored adjusted down by what their handicap is.
