How does PGTI Players Championship’s Max Play format works?

Golf action in India is finally resumed after a long time and Professional Golf Association of India’s first post-lockdown tournament is PGTI Players Championship presented by Panchkula Golf Club and usually PGTI have a stroke play format in their events but this time in the Players Championship there will be an updated version of stroke play and it’s called Max Play or Maximum Play.
 
What is Maximum Play?
Maximum Play is an improvised version of stroke play format in which players need to hole out on every hole and can pick up the ball after achieving a maximum score in that hole. This method speeds up the game of golf.
 
How does this format work?
Now, here the maximum score for each hole played is limited to a net double bogey – which is equal to Par of the hole + 2 strokes (double bogey) + any handicap strokes the player is entitled to receive on that hole based on their Course Handicap.
For example, a player with a Course Handicap of 12 is entitled to one additional stroke on holes allocated with stroke index 1 through 12 on the scorecard. On a par 4 hole, with a Stroke Index of 10, the player’s maximum score would be 4 (par) + 2 (double bogey) + 1 (stroke received) = 7.
