Golf etiquette on the green?
In golf, if you are playing as a foursome, how do you know if it is your turn on the green? I need this for a project, so the first one with the right answer gets the BEST ANSWER honor.
The player who is furthest away from the hole, no matter what surface they are on, always has the "honor:, meaning that it’s their turn. When putting, after a player attempts his first putt, he can choose to finish, or remark his ball and wait for his next turn. In fourball match play, if it is your turn to go, you can have your partner putt his ball (it’s your teams turn), even if he is the closest person to the hole.
Usually, if you have putted your first, and you would have to stand in the line of your partner or opponent in order to finish, it’s always good etiquette to mark your ball, and let them go before you finish.

The person who is farthest away from the hole putts first. Unless you allow someone to tap their putt in before you go. If someone is on the fringe, they will putt before anybody on the green.

It doesn’t matter if someone is in the sand, fringe, rough, whatever, just whoever’s farther.

All of the answer above are correct about farthest from the hole, but the golfers as a courtesy can let another go first, like if Tiger makes his putt the crowd will start moving and that is unfair to the others

i think most people has answered your question. The player furthest from the hole should go first.
But then again, there are other little small factors to keep in mind. If your mark is in someone’s stance, offer to go first so they won’t feel awkward about standing on your marker. If your ball is close enough for a tap in, go ahead and finish out your play while your playing partners are setting up to save some time and keep the pace of play moving.
