	GOLFONLINE - Rule 2: Match Play
		The Rules in match play, where each hole is a separate contest, tend to be less complex than in stroke play, because a penalty rarely needs to be more severe than loss of hole.
		Also, due to the fact that match play is a hole-by-hole contest, a player's inadvertent breach of the Rules goes unpenalized if a claim is not made by his opponent before either player plays from the next tee.
		A key difference, though, is that in match play the player in question is likely either to have had a score for the hole or a penalty of loss of hole.

		In match play, the strategy you employ in doubling depends a lot on the score of the match.
