65 Rule 6 (2) What to Do When Player’s Ball Was Played by Another Player as Wrong Ball. If it is known or virtually certain that the player’s ball was played by another player as a wrong ball, the player must replace the original ball or another ball on the original spot (which if not known must be estimated) (see Rule 14.2). This applies whether or not the original ball has been found. 6.3d When Player May Play More Than One Ball at a Time A player may play more than one ball at a time on a hole only when: • Playing a provisional ball (which will either become the ball in play or be abandoned, as provided in Rule 18.3c), or • Playing two balls in stroke play to correct a possible serious breach in playing from a wrong place (see Rule 14.7b) or when uncertain about the right procedure to use (see Rule 20.1c(3)). 6.4 Order of Play When Playing Hole Purpose of Rule: Rule 6.4 covers the order of play throughout a hole. The order of play from the teeing area depends on who has the honour, and after that is based on which ball is farthest from the hole. • In match play, the order of play is fundamental; if a player plays out of turn, the opponent may cancel that stroke and make the player play again. • In stroke play, there is no penalty for playing out of turn, and players are both allowed and encouraged to play “ready golf” — that is, to play out of turn in a safe and responsible way. 6.4a Match Play (1) Order of Play. The player and opponent must play in this order: • Starting First Hole. At the first hole, the honour is decided by the order of the draw set by the Committee or, if there is no draw, by agreement or by using a random method (such as tossing a coin). • Starting All Other Holes. » The player who wins a hole has the honour at the next teeing area. » If the hole was tied, the player with the honour at the previous teeing area keeps it.
