hitting out of turn
I'm sure I could find this easily on google, but I thought I would ask here first. Is there a rule about hitting out of turn? Either on the tee, fairway or green? Is it the same during stroke and match play?
To avoid slow play, my regular group plays "ready golf" and we only stick to honours off the tee after a birdie, so I was just curious if this would be against tournament rules or if it is just an etiquette issue.

No penalty in either format.
In Match Play your opponent can ask you to replay the stroke in turn without penalty.Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

The only thing to watch in strokeplay is, that if two players agree to play out of turn to give one of them an advantage, they are both DQd.
eg one putting first to show the other the line.

What if they are in the same foursome and part of a larger team event but playing the other 2 guys in singles matches. One decides to putt first but is much closer and virtually on the same line to the hole thereby showing the line to his teamate? This would give his teamate an advantage in his match.

In a team match play event (fourball) the team which is away may elect to have either player play (30-3c)
If you are mixing in singles match play in the same round (??), the singles opponent could ask you to replay the shot with no penalty, but it would stand in the fourball.

I am not sure I explained myself, here it is again. It was 2 singles matches in the same foursome representing 2 teams (1vs4, 2vs3 with 1&2 being on the same team of another 6 players in other matches the same day and 3&4 being on the other team). The teamates played out of turn on the green thus showing the other teamate the line. This benefited the teamate in his match, is this a breach? If os what is the penalty? I just want to know for info sake.

Unfortunately Luc, this is very difficult to answer. The matches themselves are two completely separate games being played concurrently within the same group of four. Technically, singles matches should be played in groups of two only, because there are problematic situations that can arise when separate matches converge.
When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

I know, it was more for information sake, I found it to be a grey area as well. no harm no foul

Thanks, that would be great, is it the same for consulting, advice etc... between teamates but in individual matches?
