Honour and etiquette

Natalie Gulbis

Honour

The person who won the previous hole - or in the case of a drawn hole the last hole that was won - has the right to play first.

This is known as 'having the honour'.

In match play if a player plays out of turn, the opponent can make him replay the shot but without penalty.
