Match play is played hole-by-hole, by winning or losing a hole to your opponent.  The player who wins the most holes during a stipulated round wins the match.  Match play and stroke play rules often differ when there is a breach of a rule. The rules themselves may differ slightly.

Most golfers are very familiar with stoke play, where your aggregate score over a stipulated round determines your place among fellow competitors. But match play, where the score on a hole is only important in relation to your opponents score on that hole, is a different game.
