A player is only eliminated for the one shot following his/her selected shot. This process continues with one person being eliminated from each shot up until the ball is on the green with all players putting. All four players tee off the next hole and the elimination process begins again. The eliminated player cannot take a practice shot or putt during the time they are eliminated. Should a player take a shot during the time they are eliminated a two stroke penalty will apply.
