According to the rules of golf, the player who had the lowest score on the previous hole "has honors" and should hit the first tee shot on the next hole. Some golfers respect this rule while others like to play "ready golf", which is a style of golf aimed to speed up play where you hit whenever you get to your ball and are ready.

Usage

Nice birdie on the last hole. It's your honor!
