You need additional information in order to have the question answered. First, you must have the course handicap for each player. and second, you must have the handicap ranking of the hole. Strokes are deducted for each player according to their course handicap vs the handicap rating.

For example the 6.9 handicap index is probably an 8 course handicap. That player would get to deduct a stroke on the holes ranked 1-8. Half of those are probably on the back nine so this golfer would get one stroke deducted on four of the holes on the front based on handicap rank of those holes. Another example, the 18.9 handicap index could be maybe a 21 course handicap. This player would get one stroke deducted for every hole 1-18 and an additional stroke deducted from handicap holes 1-3 give a two stroke deduction for those three holes of which probably 2 are on the front side.

Depending on the handicap rank of the hole, those players will have 0, 1, or 2 strokes deducted from their scores for the first hole.

To find the course handicap, your handicap index and the slope of the course is needed, here is a link to the USGA calculator online:

To find the handicap rating, it is on the score card for each hole. The slope of the course should be on the score card as well.
