Strokes received on each hole is determined as follows: If the players handicap allowance is 18 or less, the player receives one stroke on every hole for which the hole's handicap value (see scorecard) is less than or equal to the players course handicap.  If the players handicap allowance is more than 18, the player receives at least one stroke on every hole.  Then subtract 18 from the players course handicap allowance and the player receives a second stroke (total of 2) on every hole for which the hole's handicap value (see scorecard) is less than or equal to the resulting number.
