    craigswan:
    When a putt isn't a gimme .

    If it's to win the hole: .

    If it's for birdie or better .

    Never .

    I agree with that and that's how I'm playing the game now.  It does mean, however, that I find myself losing to opponents who take 4 foot "gimmes" if I miss my 2 foot putt......

    Rosella00:
    I was wondering if there are any unwritten (or, if they're not unwritten, maybe they're just hard to find, at least for me) protocols as to when you should take a "gimme" putt, or if you are free to take one every time one is offered.

    It looks like you're referring to coin games.  If you are playing in a coin room where a gimme is offered, take it.  It moves the game along, and you are breaking no unwritten rules or protocols by doing so.
