6.4
Order of Play When Playing Hole
Purpose: Rule 6.4 covers the order of play throughout a hole. The order of play from the teeing area depends on who has the honour, and after that is based on which ball is farthest from the hole.
In match play, the order of play is fundamental; if a player plays out of turn, the opponent may cancel that stroke and make the player play again.
In stroke play, there is no penalty for playing out of turn, and players are both allowed and encouraged to play “ready golf” – that is, to play out of turn in a safe and responsible way.

Stroke Play
(1) Normal Order of Play.
Starting First Hole. The honour at the first teeing area is decided by the order of the draw set by the Committee or, if there is no draw, by agreement or by using a random method (such as tossing a coin).
Starting All Other Holes.
The player in the group with the lowest gross score at a hole has the honour at the next teeing area; the player with the second lowest gross score should play next; and so on.
If two or more players have the same score at a hole, they should play in the same order as at the previous teeing area.
The honour is based on gross scores, even in a handicap competition.
After All Players Have Started a Hole.
The ball that is farthest from the hole should be played first.
If two or more balls are the same distance from the hole or their relative distances are not known, the ball to be played first should be decided by agreement or by using a random method.
There is no penalty if a player plays out of turn, except that if two or more players agree to play out of turn to give one of them an advantage, each of them gets the general penalty (two penalty strokes).
(2) Playing Out of Turn in a Safe and Responsible Way (“Ready Golf”). Players are both allowed and encouraged to play out of turn in a safe and responsible way, such as when:
Two or more players agree to do so for convenience or to save time,
A player’s ball comes to rest a very short distance from the hole and the player wishes to hole out, or
An individual player is ready and able to play before another player whose turn it is to play under the normal order of play in (1), so long as in playing out of turn the player does not endanger, distract or interfere with any other player.
But if the player whose turn it is to play under (1) is ready and able to play and indicates that he or she wants to play first, other players should generally wait until that player has played.
A player should not play out of turn to gain an advantage over other players.
