I played in a County Championship and my opponent was on the green and about 40 feet from the hole. I was off the green about 10 feet from the hole. She was waiting for me to go and I told her she was away. She insisted it was my turn and wouldn't go. So I did go just to keep it moving. I wonder if she should have incurred a penalty?

I don't see a penalty in your case.  In stroke play, there are very few instances where playing out of turn actually leads to a penalty. You used the term "opponent".   I'm curious, was this Match Play?

Edit: If Match Play

Technically speaking, you "broke" the rule in Match Play.  When you played out of turn, you "agreed" to playing out of turn.  As the penalty statement in match play is for the opponent to recall the stroke, in your case this would not applicable because it was your opponent's idea..

If you had made a valid, timely claim, (Rule 2-5)  it  would be different.

If she is on the green, but 40 feet away.  And you are OFF the green, but only 10 feet from the pin, I believe you are still away being that you are off the green.

And who cares? Ready golf, just hit your ball.

Away means farther from the hole.

Yup.

There have been times in match play situations that players have had to play from bunkers AFTER someone hits a putt from on the green because they're closer than the one who putts.

I'm not sure of that.  In Mario golf for the N64, if you are off the green and the other player is on the green, the person off the green is always away.  I've learned a lot of the rules of golf from that game.

Nvm, I googled it and I was wrong.

After research, she should have putted first *technically*.

Ouch? I don't think I said anything mean. I'm just saying why make it a big deal? I know ladies first is important, but just chip in and make her regret her decision. ;-)

It's ouch because in match play if you play out of order your opponent can make you cancel your play and replay it.

It wasn't match play it was stroke play. I know that furthest from the hole putts. I would have gained an advantage by watching her putt first. It amazes me how many people believe if a ball is on the green and another ball off the green the player off the green automatically goes first. I always play ready golf except in cases like this. So is refusing to play a penalty? Just good to know this.

He didn't indicate match play?

1) Why say she was your opponent? 2) She could have been penalised for 'undue delay' but not for 'playing out of turn'.

It's a golf tournament...anyone that isn't him, is his opponent.

Thank you Rulesman. She wasn't my "opponent" as that would be match play and this wasn't. I guess she was my "competitor"? I guess I could have held my ground and made her putt, held up the rest of the field and waited for a ruling. But hey "while we're young!"

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
