The rules for a Matched game.

  1. A match consists of one side playing against another over a stipulated round unless otherwise decreed by the Committee. In match play the game is played by holes. Except as otherwise provided in the Rules, the side that holds its ball in the fewer strokes wins a hole. In a handicap match the lower net score wins the hole. The state of the match is expressed by the terms: so many "holes up" or "all square," and so many "to play." A side is "dormice" when it is as many holes up as there are holes remaining to be played.


  2. A hole is halved if each side holes out in the same number of strokes. When a player has holed out and his opponent has been left with a stroke for the half, if the player subsequently incurs a penalty, the hole is halved.


  3. A match is won when one side leads by a number of holes greater than the number remaining to be played. If there is a tie, the Committee may extend the stipulated round by as many holes as are required for a match to be won.


  4. A player may concede his opponent’s next stroke at any time provided the opponent’s ball is at rest. The opponent is considered to have holed out with his next stroke and either side may remove the ball. A player may concede a hole at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that hole. A player may concede a match at any time prior to the start or conclusion of that match. A concession may not be declined or withdrawn.


  5. In match play, if a doubt or dispute arises between the players, a player may make a claim. If no duly authorized representative of the Committee is available within a reasonable time, the players must continue the match without delay. The Committee may consider a claim only if the player making the claim notifies his opponent (I) that he is making a claim, (II) of the facts of the situation and (III) that he wants a ruling. The claim must be made before any player in the match plays from the next teeing ground or, in the case of the last hole of the match, before all players in the match leave the putting green. The Committee may not consider a later claim unless it is based on facts previously unknown to the player making the claim and an opponent had given him wrong information. Once the result of the match has been officially announced,the Committee may not consider a later claim unless it is satisfied that the opponent knew he was giving wrong information.


  6. The penalty for a breach of a Rule in match play is loss of hole except when otherwise provided.
