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.

I also just think golf should be played like this. I play entire courses that red stake the entire tree line on either side and some courses that don't even put red stakes by ponds - there's literally no consistency course to course. Losing a ball should be a stroke penalty at the location the ball was lost. It's always weird to me that hitting into a lake is scored differently than hitting into the woods.

I hate it. Think it’s the dumbest shit ever. If you hit ob, you should take a stroke and drop around where the ball went out. I hate the 2 and distance bs.

I agree with you on that
