Not quite. A gives B 6 strokes in any 18 holes. The strokes are given according to the Stroke Index of the hole. So he gives one stroke on each of SI 1-6
each time the hole is played during the match.
eg
A receives 2 strokes from B. Hole 4 is SI 1 and hole 16 is SI 2. but the match is won/lost on the 15th, the 2nd stroke is never actually given.
If the match goes to extra holes and is won/lost on the 23rd (ie 5th extra), B will have received 1 stroke on the 4th, 1 on the 16th and 1 again on the 22nd (ie the 4th again). The 2nd stroke due, if they had reached the 16th again, is no longer relevant.
