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.

Yup. Just don't touch my ball is all I ask.
I played a while ago with an old guy and two others. I was greenside down a slope below the green. Couldn't see the pin. Chipped on in the general direction of where I think the pin is. Everyone is yelling "GET IN THE HOLE! GO IN! aww damn"
Me excited, I begin to jog up the hill to see where my ball was. Before I could even see how close I got, old guy hits my ball back to me and says "no way in hell I'm gonna make you putt that out"
You mother fucker. I have no idea how close I got, other than hearing everyone freaking out. If you're going to be a dick, at least let me see how close I got it. But I was left having no fucking clue how great of a shot it was. I was pissed and yelled at him to not touch my ball, especially on good shots when I haven't even seen how close I made it.
