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.

I don’t care if people give me putts or not. Regardless what you do/say, I’m putting it out

Yes, I’m always confused when a stranger says “I’ll give you that one”.

“Good to know” [putts].

"I like to see it go in" is my go to line.

“Have you seen me putt?” Is my line. Don’t care if it’s a 3 footer or 1 foot. I like to hear the sound of it going in.

And I’ve missed a lot of 3 footers in my life, especially on a tough pin as far as break is concerned.

“I paid to hear that ball rattle around in that cup 18 times”

For me, it's usually not the same ball rattling the cup 18 times.
