Rules for Passing in Golf Matches
The rule on passing does not depend on player count. If a match falls more than one hole behind the next match may play through on request. A four-ball has no priority over a three-ball. A single pair may play faster, but a slower match must yield to those ready ahead. Courtesy requires the trailing match to let through those ready to play.
