Rules of Golf - Rule 29: Threesomes and Foursomes
29-1. General
In a threesome or a foursome, during any stipulated round the partners
must play alternately from the teeing grounds and alternately during the
play of each hole. Penalty strokes do not affect the order of play.
29-2. Match
Play
If a player plays when his partner should have played, his side loses
the hole.
29-3. Stroke
Play
If the partners make a stroke or strokes in incorrect order, such stroke
or strokes are canceled and the side incurs a penalty of two strokes.
The side must correct the error by playing a ball in correct order as
nearly as possible at the spot from which it first played in incorrect
order (see Rule 20-5). If the side makes a stroke on the next teeing
ground without first correcting the error or, in the case of the last
hole of the round, leaves the putting green without declaring its
intention to correct the error, the side is disqualified.
