i guess i am misunderstanding the rule then...because i thought the TEAM played in order with the order of play within the team up to them.

If A was away I thought he would putt first...then B as the other member of the team would putt. Then C and D Would do likewise. I understood that if in fact B did not put after A that he was picking up his ball...and conceding the hole unless he gave up his right to putt before C and D and they agreed.

I know that if the team wins the hole BOTH partners Tee off first on the next hole. But when through the green it is simply the person furtherest from the hole who hits first. Kind of confusing for this simple mind.

thanks
