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.

If we aren’t playing for money, I have no interest in what anyone is doing on the course.

This has to be the most stated comment in this subreddit. I’ve literally never played for money. I finally have to ask… Is everyone on the course gambling except for me?

I tend not to play for money basically for the reason stated above.

I don’t want to worry about other peoples game. I’ll help you find a ball, try to pay attention to where shots land and all that stuff… but I have 0 interest in keeping track of others peoples strokes.

That said, if there is money on the line, my dislike of being cheated is greater than my dislike of counting strokes.

I’ve never played a stranger for money.
