In the
absence of special rules, two-ball matches should have precedence and be
entitled to pass any three or four ball match.
A single
player has no standing and should give way to a match of any kind.
Any match
playing a whole round is entitled to pass a match playing a shorter
round.
If a match
fails to keep its place on the course and loses more than one clear hole
on the players in front, it should allow the match following to pass.
Consideration
for other players
In the interest of all, players should play without delay. No
player should play until the players in front are out of range.
Players searching for a ball should signal the players behind them to
pass as soon as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be
found; they should not search for five minutes before doing so.
They should not continue play until the players following them have
passed and are out of range.
When the play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately
leave the putting green.
Behaviour
during play
No one should move, talk or stand close to or directly behind the ball
or the hole when a player is addressing the ball or making a stroke.
