What happens when you stop playing golf?
When play is discontinued in a golf tournament or match because of darkness, the player is allowed to finish the hole he is on under most circumstances. There are some circumstances where the player will mark his ball and leave it at the spot at darkness and then resume play the next day, and that usually occurs when the word is put out to stop play and the news gets to the players later. That can happen if the group is spread out on a particular hole and the official walking with the group needs time to let everyone know. It could take more than five minutes for the official to let all players know what has been decided regarding continued play.
