  Hello All,

   

  I am very new to this game and have playing daily and improving.  I just recenty turned level 32 (amateur).  I checked all over the forums but could not find the answer.

  Why does it give me the "Gimme" option sometimes and sometimes it does not?  I also wonder if the further one rises does the option go away completely.

  You only get gimmees in practice rounds I believe.

  I think its for amateurs and hacks for ranked and practice play, Pro and higher for practice play only.

  Cut & Paste from the NEWS

  You can now take a Gimme for putts that are close to the hole on WGT.

  Gimme Putts are a great way to speed up games on WGT, so when you're short on time, just tap the ball in!

  Hack and Amateur players can take a Gimme when the ball is within 4 feet of the hole, and Pro tier and higher players can take a Gimme when the ball is within 2 feet of the hole.

  Try A Gimme

  Gimmes are available in the following game types on WGT...

  Hack and Amateur players (not in match play games)

  • Stroke Play Practice/Ranked
  • Skins Practice/Challenge

  Pro tier and higher players (not in ranked rounds or match play games)

  • Stroke Play Practice
  • Skins Practice

  ZioMio:

  Skins Practice/Challenge

  Allowed to have a Self Gimme in any form of the game is not good. You can miss a short putt, but if you click the option of a Gimme, then the game is Wrong, Wrong, Wrong Again....lol

  If you can take a Gimme in a Challenge match in the lower grades....   well that is basically cheating....lol   Sorry, maybe wrong word to use.

  I can understand if somebody else gives you the putt,  but having a look at the roll of green and click the button yaself is not good.   Bad Idea Wgt

  They give them for the head to head money holes too and it;s a major crock of crap!!! How many times I've hit a beauty of a shot within a few feet of the hole and the other guy hits it say five to six feet away, and he gets a gimme. taking away any chance I had to regain the one stroke i needed.
