zcaveman thanks. "seriously" as Sheldon says, "sarcasm"? Sorry I said it. Of course I know you can concede a putt in match play. The point was why would you care if the hole was slightly larger as an experiment on two of our 32 executive courses (I'm not 100% sure of that number) if you partake in the gimmee game. I think 99% of the audience caught that. I agree with you put the ball in the hole if your a purist. Ever notice how the gimmees get shorter the higher the stakes are. From my own experience I would have missed a fair share of those gimmee putts (and it wasn't match play) thus I can't be a purist. If we want to beat the technicality horse I believe it is not legal to report a score for handicap if the ball did not go into the hole. Now I'm guilty of not following the thread. Goodnight.
