Playing out of turn in matchplay

[cliveb]

I know that if someone plays out of turn in matchplay, their opponent can ask them to replay the shot.
However, if before playing out of turn, they ask their opponent if it's ok to do so, and the opponent agrees it's ok, does this change things?
Common sense would seem to suggest that once you've given your opponent permission to play out of turn, you must have given up your option to make them play again.
But with the rules of golf, you never know...

Yes, players can agree to play out of turn and rather obviously if you let your opponent play out of turn, you forfeit the right to ask him or her to cancel and replay.

See the Exception in Rule 6.4a(2)

If somebody gave me the option of playing 1st when it wasn't my turn, and then asked me to play again because I'd hit a good 'un he'd likely get my putter shoved up his arse.

Is that the hole completed because it is holed?

Great contribution.

But I'd be inclined to offer to hold his legs open while the 'operation' was performed! And it wouldn't matter whether I was playing with or against Smiffy!!
