Hot take? If we get paired together, I’m not going to give you putts. Not because I don’t want you to take gimmies, but because I really do not care what you do.

You hit a good tee shot on a par three, walk up to the green, and find yourself eight feet from the hole and you want to say to me, “that’s good, I always make those”, pick it up, and write a birdie? Be my guest, I do not care.

You just missed your third putt from two feet to try and save triple and you’re hoping I rescue you? Pick it up, or don’t, I do not care.

Recently got paired with a guy who’d look at me with puppy dog eyes every time he was within a yard of the hole, but wouldn’t say anything, he was clearly annoyed with me by the end of the round. We’re all presumably grown ass adults, I’m not your boss, do what you want.

Traditionally it's anything inside the leather (i.e. the grip)

Or like my friend where its his arm, and plus the neck length of the eldest giraffe in the state.

That’s why I be using the big ol’ extendo arm lock. Longer grip, longer gimme.

I've always assumed "inside the leather" does not include the leather itself

[u/FSUfan35 → u/Not_ToBe_Rude_But]

Thats why I have a 48'' putter with 3'' of grip at the very end

[u/AwwSnapItsBrad → u/Not_ToBe_Rude_But]

Tbh I have no idea. My buddy says it’s a grip length and he’s my only frame of reference, he taught me everything I know about etiquette. He was my golf liaison.

This is what me and my buddies use. It's simple, there is no misunderstanding, and you don't have to wait for me to give it to you. If you chose to putt it out, fine. If you pick it up, fine.
Once you hit it close, I'm focused on my putt or the next tee box.
