If I was in the four ball playing the ninth, and saw 2 groups waiting on the 10th tee, i'd have probably played on as I don't think id have fancied waiting 30 minutes half way through my round for 2 groups of 3 to tee off. If there was one group of 3 , then I would have told them to crack on. I'd have then let them through later in the round if we were holding them up though. I like to think i'd have been quite polite about it though. 　
What are the rules you have in place Tash ? We have only three starting points on our course, 1, 10 and 13. If you go to 10 or 13, if there is someone on the 9th or 12th, green, then they have right of way. It's all very civil and common sense usually prevails.

Bottom line is the 4 ball on the 9th have priority so it's up to them if they want to carry on or allow the 3 ball to tee off in front of them. And there is no guarantee that the 3 ball would be any quicker.
If I was in the 4 ball I would have carried on then called the 3 ball through if we were holding them up at any point.
I think I have understood the original post but maybe not
That is more or less what we thought, they decided to play through and for whatever reason would not let them three through.
Thanks for for sticking with it. It's tens mins of your life you won't get back though 😁👍

Predominantly we tee off on 1st, except tomorrow course is reversed for a back nine comp. the thing is we had let the guys through so the only ones holding up the fourball was the three guys and two had teed off. If original four ball who played front nine had got to the tee twenty secs later the three ball would of been halfway up the fairway. Our rules are exactly the same as yours, that they have right of way.

We know who has the best legs though...
TBH if i was playing the 9th and a load of guys turned up and tee'd off in front of us on the 10th i would be livid.
At ours you are not permitted to cut in unless the hole behind is clear.

This is what I don't understand. If you're in a 4 ball halfway up the 9th and you see a 3 ball teeing off on the 10th why are you going to get irate and possibly let it affect your round? Fair enough if they're spraying it all over and you catch them then a word might be in order but really what are the chances of a 4ball catching a 3?
because you have no right to push in,Thats why clubs have this rule for this reason. Plenty of slowcoaches out there that can hold a 4 ball up as a single let alone a 3 ball.
as for getting irate, look at it this way you have a nice match going, field clear ahead, them all of a sudden a group pushes in and slows you up. that would make me irate

Nobody pushed through in this case though, nigh on everybody went to the tenth tee because of the work being done on the greens. The only people that played the front nine were the ones that teed off before the work was started.
It was a one off situation.

So the 4 ball should have been told by the proshop that owing to greens maintenance, everyone else will be teeing off at the 10th and to expect a queue when they get there.
They should still have been given priority in my view
There was nothing stopping you playing the front 9 was there? it was just temps. You chose to go to the to the 10th tee.
the group playing 9th have priority and should have been able to continue the round unhindered by people cutting in.
they have priority pure and simple.

The 4 ball would have 'right of way' at my course. However If I was in the 4 ball I would have waved a 3 ball to go off, expecting them to keep ahead, and let us through if they didn't.

If the Threeball were on the 10th tee before all of the Fourball were on the 9th green, then in my mind the Threeball had right of play off 10th tee.
If the Threeball could not see the 9th green and did not know the Fourball was coming, then in general the group continuing their round has precedence over the group starting their round. So the Fourball has right of play.
However, as the group starting their round was a Threeball, then they would have to be let through as soon as the Fourball is demonstrably holding the Threeball up - and both groups will know this. And even although this is likely to happen almost straight away the Threeball should still, out of courtesy, stand aside to let the Fourball through. The Fourball should then thank the Threeball and tell the Threeball to play on as they as a group will be the faster.

By who, coz if that is a statement about yourself I think you are being a bit harsh on yourself
But for the record, again, we let the guys through, we fully understood who had the right of way. We did what was expected. My comments were, if two of three guys have teed off and were on buggies. What would you of done, would you of asked to go through. Yes or no. Which bit of that is sad.
Think you have just won the comfortably "saddest" post paddy
