801.02 Order of Play
A. Teeing order on the first teeing area is determined by the
order in which the scorecards were filled out or by the order the
players were listed or arranged on the scoreboard.
B. Teeing order on all subsequent tees is determined by the
scores on the previous hole, with the lowest score throwing first, and
so on. If the previous hole was a tie, the scores are to be counted
back until the order is resolved.
C. After all the players in the group have teed off, the player
farthest from the hole (the away player) throws first. To facilitate
flow of play, a player who is not farthest away may play next if the
away player consents.
D. During tournament play, no group may play through the group
ahead unless the group ahead is required to stand aside in accordance
with the rules or as directed by an official.
E. Throwing out of turn shall be considered a courtesy violation. See 801.01G.
