Rule 6.4d
When Player Takes Relief or Will Play Provisional Ball from Anywhere Except Teeing Area
The order of play under Rules 6.4a(1) and 6.4b(1) in these two cases is:
(1) Taking Relief to Play Ball from a Different Place Than Where It Lies.
When Player Becomes Aware That They Are Required to Take Stroke-and-Distance Relief. The player’s order of play is based on the spot where their previous stroke was made.
When Player Has Choice to Play Ball as It Lies or Take Relief.
The player’s order of play is based on the spot where the original ball lies (which if not known must be estimated) (see Rule 14.2).
This applies even when the player has already decided to take stroke-and-distance relief or to take relief to play from a different place than where the original ball lies (such as when the original ball is in a penalty area or will be treated as unplayable).

  1. Fair enough I guess, I’d never heard of this rule, i guess it’s a pretty obscure scenario that could only happen on specific holes.
    The commentators were saying it was a penalty of Xander played first, is that right?
    I though if you played out of turn in a match the opponent has the option to make you replay the shot or not

  3. Hi Blakey – are there any good "commented rules" books for golf? I might be wrong, but recall the official version is quite terse. Like Wisden's laws of cricket with interpretation …
