In match play, you are "the player" and the person you are playing against is your "opponent."

1) Concessions

When a ball is at rest, you may concede your opponent's next stroke. At anytime you may concede a hole or the match. If you concede anything you may not withdraw the concession. Even if your opponent putts and misses the concession stands and you still lose the hole.
 
2) Beginning a hole from outside the teeing ground (or wrong teeing ground)

The teeing ground is defined by the tee markers and is a rectangular area two club-lengths in depth. A ball is played from within the teeing ground if any of the ball is within the teeing ground.

If your opponent plays from outside the teeing ground (or from the wrong color tee markers) you can immediately recall the stroke. If you recall the stroke, your opponent is required to play the stroke again. If you do not immediately recall the stroke (before you play or you both leave the teeing ground) you may no longer recall the stroke.

3) Playing in the wrong order

In match play, the person with the lowest score on a hole plays first on the next hole. After you have both played from the tee, the person furthest from the hole must play first. If your opponent plays when it is your turn to play, you have the option to immediately recall the stroke.   If you recall the stroke, your opponent is required to cancel the stroke just made and play again. If you do not immediately recall the stroke (before you play) you may no longer recall the stroke and there is no penalty to the opponent.
 
4) If your ball strikes your opponent or your opponent's equipment

There is no penalty but you have the option to play the ball as it lies or cancel the stroke and play again from where you just played. If you do not immediately cancel the stroke you must play your ball as it lies without penalty.
 
5) Ball at rest moved by your opponent

If your opponent moves your ball (except while helping you search) the ball must be replaced and your opponent incurs a one-stroke penalty.
 
6) Wrong information

If your opponent gives you wrong information the opponent loses the hole. Wrong information includes the following:

• Your opponent does not inform you of a penalty that he/she has incurred as soon as possible.
• Your opponent tells you the incorrect number of strokes that he/she has taken during play of the hole and does not correct the mistake before you play a stroke.
• Your opponent tells you the incorrect number of strokes taken to complete the hole affecting your understanding of the result and does not correct the mistake before either of you play from the next tee.

7) Claims

If you and your opponent do not agree about how to proceed, (for example whether or not your opponent would get relief from a cart path), you may file a claim. To file a claim you must do three things before anyone begins the next hole.

• Let your opponent know you are making a claim
• Tell your opponent what you do not agree with and.
• Tell your opponent you would like a Ruling when a Rules Official becomes available.

You must then continue play and as soon as you see a Rules Official call them over and explain the situation and a Ruling will be made.
