    plekieu:

    unfortunately wgt does not follow the rules of golf - been in many stroke games where opponents use gimmes from 3.5ft and in. This is crap and although I dont really care, WGT is NOT following the rules of golf!!!!

    Wrong!  the ones who are not following the rules of golf are the ones you are playing with  who allow gimmes in any type of stroke play. Gimmes in real golf are only allowed in match play and then only if your opponent says that the putt is good. Even in match play your opponent is well within his rights to make you take every putt.

    Awhile back I was chewed out for not giving a gimme in an alt shot game against a TL. I think really the issue was that said TL missed the 2 foot putt :^) 

    When I play, unless its my turn I'm not necessarily looking at the monitor. Sometimes I wander away, and I miss a concede here and there. That doesn't mean I doubt your ability to make the putt, I had something else to take care of and wasn't there to concede.

    I've experienced Y U NO CONCEDE rage first hand, and I've read about it many a time. It doesn't bother me if no one concedes my putts, more practice for me :^)  But this does open the door for more squabbling, petty arguments, etc if implemented and its really not worth the trouble. Tap it in and carry on I say.
