Hi,

I thought the only rule around order of play is that the farthest from the hole plays first.

Anyways, my brother, who golfs often, claims that there is some sort of "continuation" rule with putting. Basically, whoever starts putting first has the option to finish putting out the hole once they start putting. Say "A" is 10 feet from the hole, "B" is 3 feet from the hole. "A" putts to 2 feet. He claims that "A" has the option to putt next and finish the hole if he chooses.

Is this some sort of etiquette thing or a real rule, or is he just dreaming in la-la land.

Thanks.
