  I would like to suggest having a "concede putt" meter that would appear before the tee off,where players could agree on cc range and all click on agreed distance.This would be set and work on auto.

  This would eliminate the unscrupulous who have agreed range then dont cc, also if a player has had to move from screen it would automatically cc within the agreed range.

  I would also like to suggest that I receive 50,000 credits for my amazing idea lol.

  It's a personal decision and some putts within 3 feet can still be tricky.  Not something that will happen.

  Unfortunately, it's against the spirit and the rules of matchplay. The concede is at the sole discretion of the opponent and may be used as a strategic tool.

  I consider such agreement weak gaming (no offence meant).

  I wish I could remember the player who came up with this one. 

  Want to win match play? Concede 3 footers on the front, then concede nothing on the back.

  It must be as old as the real game and proves Bobby Jones again:
