Wow..
Drunk in PA somehow gave you a great answer to what I guess is the question you attempted to ask when you might have been drunk at the keyboard.
Good luck to you.

You don't really score points in golf so this question is difficult to answer (regardless of the garbled English). But if you are trying to figure out how handicaps work, you need to first take your USGA handicap and adjust it for the course you are playing. You do this by taking the slope of the course and dividing it by 113, and then multiplying this number by your handicap.
For instance: if the slope of the course is 125 and your handicap is 28, your course handicap would be 125/113*28=31. So for this course you would get 31 strokes.
If you are playing stroke play, just subtract 31 from your final score in order to determine your net score.
If you are playing match play, you would get strokes per hole depending on your opponent's handicap. If your opponent has a course handicap of 20, you would get 11 strokes. The scorecard should list the handicap of each hole with a number from 1 to 18, with 1 being the hardest hole and 18 the easiest. So for this example, you would get an extra stroke on handicap holes 1 through 11. So if you and your opponent both scored a 5 on one of these holes, you would win the hole with a net 4. On handicap holes 12-18 you would just play even, if you both score a 5 it would halve the hole.
Hope this helps, and I hope your golf game is better than your grammar.

Its rather difficult to understand what you are trying to ask, but if I guessed correctly, you are trying to get info on strokes deductable for your nett score. Am I right to assume that?
Ok if its what you as asking, then the answer shall be as follows:
Your golf handicap is 28, that means you can deduct 1 stroke off your gross score for every hole plus 1 more stroke for the 10 most difficult holes. e.g. handicap index for hole 9 is 16 - you scored par, your nett score shall be a birdie (take a stroke off). Hole 10, handicap index is 1, you scored a double bogey, your nett score shall be a par (cos you can deduct 2 strokes).
Hope that helps.

Wow. That is the longest most fragmented sentence ever. I like golf and I want to help you, but I have no idea what you just wrote.

What on EARTH did you just type? Try extend your question but break it up into sentences. Also i presume English is not your first language.
