I have 4 ball match on Sunday
Only 9 holes will be open
How do we decide where we give strokes ?


Apart from asking the pro when we arrive
 
I would think approach it the same as if you were playing 18, so base your calculations as normal.

Most courses spread the stroke indexes (indices?) evenly over both nines so it should still work out fair.

However if this is not the case you have a problem.
 
I certainly wouldn't be playing a 'match' in those conditions. Have you actually checked with the club that you can actually do this ?

Absolutely - one fo our 9s is very steep and hence is closed at present.
 
At our club one course quite often has only 9 holes open. Stroke indices for playing 2x9 as eighteen have been agreed at some point and posted in changing room.
