Do You Want to Know Your Missing Opponent's Match Play Scores or Not?

How can they use scores from a previous match play comp? You are not gonna have a score for every hole. IE win 4 and 3. Or a hole is conceded.

We don't have a match play like that.  My league is points based so each match goes 9 holes and each player gets points for winning or tying a hole.  So a total of 9 points is gained between the two players.

For example,  if I win 4 holes, tie 2 holes, and lose 3 holes I would get 5 points and my opponent would get 4 points.

After the regular season the top 16 in points make the playoffs.

Back many years ago when I played in company leagues, we had an approved substitute list that you had to use to get someone to play in your place if you couldn't make the scheduled day or arrange to play at another time before the next scheduled round.

Each year it's a struggle to get the same number of golfers in the league, let alone having a substitute list!

Crapy way to manage an absence. For me is show or forefit... 

Maybe add some arbitrary strokes to random holes to the previous 9 holes played? 

It's a casual and fun league.  Just about every golfer misses  a few weeks for a reason (usually vacation) so this gives the League a way to have a match in one way or another.  Forfeits in a league like mine would be a ridiculous outcome.

Thanks for the explanation
