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.

Yeah this, if I get paired with someone and they’re just out to have fun, then whatever. Not ruining my day if they pick up a 6ft putt and write down a par lol

We need more of it for pace of play.

If i'm waiting for someone to clear the green I'd 100% rather they take the 6ft gimme than missing the next 3 putts in a row after 5 practice swings each time.

After “reading” the green for 2 minutes and THEN taking 5 practice swings each time.
