I've only been golfing for a couple of years and I never keep score. I play for fresh air, exercise and fun.
Some of the people I golf with keep hitting balls until they get a hit they like.
So to me it seems pointless to keep score.
(But we do play ready golf and never keep the golfers behind us waiting)!
Hi Barefoot: I don't keep score on executive courses except mentally. I play from the black tees because in my view the second shot on executive courses is the critical shot. I never hold up people behind me. if I am having bad golf day and/or hole I pick up after the second shot.

My putting is actually the best part of the game but then I usually pick up w/o putting to the hole, if my score for that hole is above four. I never take a mulligan

Essentially because there is a big push for faster golf it is literally impossible to follow the rules of golf on an executive courses.

Championship courses are a whole other thing

Have a good day
