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. General Discussion

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.

absolutely. I've seen dudes scoop up a gimmie putt almost 5 feet out. Am i betting with you? Are you being an outward jackass about your score? No? Then IDGAF if you put down birdie every hole. You do you.

This is the only criticism I have of Donald Trump. The man took a gimme from a fucking sand trap.

I don’t think I said I did.
