Ready Golf

A type of golf play where the order of players' shots is determined by which player is at his ball and ready to hit first. Ready golf speeds up the pace of game by allowing the player who is ready first to hit first (Kelley, About.com). This is a departure from normal play where the player whose ball is farthest from the hole would take his turn first.

This type of play is typically seen in a tournament where it is the hitting order set out by the organizers, or when agreed upon by all members of a golf group playing together. If not agreed upon by all players, ready golf is considered a breech of etiquette.

Some say ready golf improves a player's game by decreasing the delay between shots and allowing him to play while his muscles are still warm (Kelley, About.com).
