When I was introducing my wife to the game I told her it was a 2 stroke penalty to mark any putt 18 inches or less
As she got better at the game and understood the rules and that I was just being an idiot again, I shared how I feel about putts given. I told her that unless she is in a match against someone, no one can give her a putt. It is her ball in play and it is her handicap. She can take any putt she wants and also putt any she wants...
Some folks thinking they are being nice will give putts. Fact is, unless you are in a match why would you ever give a putt to anyone? It is not yours to give...
I witnessed nice folks saying that is good to her when she had a three footer. Now she simply says thank you, but I need to work on this. She is anything but slow...
PS. If indeed she is in a match and someone does not concede a 9 inch putt she should find a new group
