　　Decision 31-5/2
　　Rule 31-5, which is an exception to Rule 10-2 (Order of Play), permits a side to play in the order it considers best. Generally, a side will exercise its right under Rule 31-5 for strategic reasons. However, in doing so, the side must not unduly delay play (Rule 6-7). The following are examples of a side (competitors A and B) playing in an order other than that set forth in Rule 10-2b and whether a penalty under Rule 6-7 would be appropriate: (a) As ball is on the putting green five feet from the hole and he plays before B, whose ball is on the putting green 20 feet from the hole - no penalty. (b) As ball is in an awkward lie in a hazard 30 yards from the hole and he plays before B, whose ball is in the fairway 50 yards from the hole - no penalty.(c) As ball is 220 yards from the hole on a par-5 hole and he plays his second stroke before B, whose ball is 240 yards from the hole plays - no penalty (d) In situation (c) above, As ball comes to rest 30 yards from the green. The side then elects to have A play his third stroke before B plays his second stroke - B is penalized two strokes for a breach of Rule 6-7.

　　判定 31-5/2

　　规则31-5是规则10-2（打球顺序）的一个例外，允许一方可以按其认为最佳的顺序打属于自己一方的球。一般来说，一方为了技战术的原因可以按照规则31-5进行。不过，如果一方这么做的话，不能不正当的延误比赛（规则6-7）。以下是一方（比赛者A和B）不按规则10-2b的顺序打球的例子，这一方是否会按照规则6-7的规定接受处罚呢：（a）A的球在果岭上距洞5英尺的地方，他在B之前打球，B的球在果岭上距洞20英尺的地方——不受处罚。（b）A的球位于障碍区距洞30码，他先于B打球，B的球在球道上，距洞50码——不受处罚。（c）在PAR 5的一个球洞，A的球距洞220码，A的第2杆比B先打，B的球距洞240码——不受处罚。（d）在上述c的情况下，A的球停在了果岭上距洞30码的地方。他们这一方选择A先打第3杆，然后B再打第2杆，这时B因为违反规则6-7要被罚两杆。
