Honors, away and ready play
|
The player
who has "honors" tees off first. On the first tee, this
can be decided randomly (by flip of a coin, straw draving, paper-rock-scissors,
whatever). On ensuing tees, the player with the best score on the
preceding hole goes first, the second-best score goes second, and
so on. Ties carry over to the next tee box, so you keep your place
in the rotation until you beat someone on a hole.
"Honors" determine who tees off first; what about the order
of play on shots from the fairway? He who is "away" (or
"out") leads the way. The player who is farthest from the
hole always plays first, from any position on the golf course other
than the tee box. The exception is when all members of the group have
agreed to play "ready golf," which stands for hit-when-ready.
Ready golf is usually played when golfers are trying to speed up the
round.
