    Hi

    I think nobody misses a put less than 1 ft, unless meeter screws up or something is wrong with the game.
    What about "giving" those ultra short puts?
    It would save time when you play with others.

    I write 1 ft as an ex. here. You might use another short distance for "giving" short putts to save time.

    It's not the rules of golf; it is up to the individual player to decide whether he wants to concede a putt or not, be it 1in or 100ft.  If a player does not concede a putt it MUST be holed out.

    I know it's not according to the rules, so in a tournament - putt in in the hole.

    But when we play for fun, not a tournament, it is quite common to "give" the shortest putts.
    It saves time for us all.

    Under 2ft or even 3ft. Unless it's at Oakmont LOL. There I wouldn't give an inch.
