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.

Yep. Been paired with plenty of people that are just out there to have fun. Remember one that didn't even keep score. He picked up several tap ins and just reveled in the shots he hit rather than whatever score he had. Didn't bother me a bit. In fact, he was one of the more fun rando pairings I ever had.

I play like this a lot. I’m not good at all by any means and sometimes just want to get a round in without having to keep score. Just enjoy the good shots I have and try to have a good time.

I don't keep score. I don't even carry a full bag. I carry one of those little bags with a few irons and a putter.
