In a recent Match Play comp round the following happened :

Player A’s ball is on the green but far away from the hole, Player B’s ball is on the fringe but nearer to the hole. Player B then proceeds to chip to “come onto” the green. Player A then tells Player B that he played out of turn and told Player B to replace the ball and replay the shot after Player A has putted.

What would be the ruling in this situation?

The ball must be dropped in this case, not placed, but otherwise this is how to proceed according to Rule 10-1c

Does this ruling apply to stroke play as well?
I always thought you have to come on first eventhough you are nearer.

As far as I know there is no rule for stroke play. Speed of play, consideration of playing partners line, etc, are taken into account in stroke play. The rule exists in match play because there can be considerable advantage in going first

The rule does exist in stroke play (10-2b), but there is no penalty if it is not followed and the ball does not have to be replayed.
If, however, the Committee determines that competitors have agreed to play out of turn to give one of them an advantage, they are disqualified.

I thought this might be a thread about Stink.

My mistake.

Coming soon to a quality televisual device near you.

Wondered why you were here, now I know.

OB will be next, spelling police and all.

Didn’t notice any infringements, apart from one missed space.

That would have to be the old “Paris in the the Spring” syndrome at work OB, as your brain rearranged the letters in the thread title.
My play is particularly odorous at times btw, but that’s another story.
In match play I suppose you could always play out of turn on occasion and if you duff it you could tell your opponent that you need to replay the shot. Might just work.

I see it now. More to the point, I see that it’s not there now. Whereas before, I saw what wasn’t there at all.

Does this remind us of Madam’s ‘nothing’ thread?

Should Player A inform the player that he played out of turn before he actually putted himself? It seems a bit unfair for Player B to play out of turn but then not to be told so by Player A until after he had a putt?

Playing Out of Turn
If a player plays when his opponent should have played, there is no penalty, but the opponent may immediately require the player to cancel the stroke so made and, in correct order, play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played

What if player B’s shot was particularly bad? Can player B, request to replay as he has just noticed that he has played out of turn? Or does only player A have that option to call back the shot?

Only the opponent call ask for a stroke to be replayed.

I read the situation as being that A told B to replace his ball and wait until A has had his putt, then for B to play. Not as has been suggested that A only said something after A had putted.

I don’t think the situation was misread. Noluck simply asked the question and I responded that the call had to be made immediately.
