play through

Pass slower golfers

Play through means to continue playing without stopping, especially in golf, where a slower group allows a faster group behind them to pass: They waved us to play through.

In video games, to play through is to complete a game from start to finish: I played through the whole campaign in one sitting.

A playthrough is one such complete run.
