To what does the term honor refer to in golf?
You receive the "honor" when you beat all the members in your group outright on the previous hole. For example, I birdie and the other 3 guys par. I have won the honor on the next tee.
The rest of the order defaults to the lowest score first. If there is a tie, then you revert to the order of the previous tee and so on and so forth.
Another Example:
Bob tees off 1st and gets a par.
Bill tees off 2nd and gets a bogey.
Chuck tees off 3rd and gets a birdie.
Larry tees off last and gets a birdie.
Chuck earns the honor for the next hole, followed by Larry, followed by Bob and then finally Bill.

The word golf first appeared in our written language in a 1457 Act of Scottish Parliament, banning football and golf pastimes as they interfered with the more serious business of archery:
1457 Sc. Acts Jas. II (1814) II. 48/2 And at e fut bal ande e golf be vtterly cryt downe and nocht vsyt.
Obviously, in order to ban something it must first exist, so the word golf must pre-date this Act, but it is not known exactly when the term first came into use. However, we do know that golf originates from the Scottish word gowf, which means "to strike", or "cuff" (with various spellings such as gowff, goiff, goff, and so on). Many Scots, including non-golfers, still use the word gowf today.

From Google: A "shamble" is a type of golf tournament format in which a team of golfers selects the one best drive among them after teeing off, then all four play their own golf balls from that position into the hole. 2 Best balls of the team will count towards the TEAM SCORE. Generally, par 3s don’t scramble off the tee, par 4s do, and par 5s scramble first 2 shots of the hole.
