Rule 23.6

Four-ball

Sides order of play

Partners may play in the order the side considers best.

This means that when it is a player’s turn to play under Rule 6.4a (match play) or 6.4b (stroke play), either the player or their partner may play next.

Exception – Continuing Play of Hole After Stroke Conceded in Match Play:

• A player must not continue play of a hole after the player’s next stroke has been conceded if this would help their partner.

• If the player does so, their score for the hole stands without penalty, but the partner’s score for the hole cannot count for the side.
