  hi

  there is an option there to pick-up ball. it acts like a concede.

  it would do if you could pick up on your opponents shot but you can only do it on your turn so it is not the same

  ie you try putt for birdie from 12 feet and miss by 4 inches,your opponent then has a birdie putt from 18 inches,you would like to either concede the putt or pick up your ball but can do neither

  The problem comes into play in a Skins match with 3 or 4 players.  Two players could "team up" against the other player(s) by conceding putts for each other

  Players B &C team up.

  Player A has 2 feet for birdie

  Player B is 18 feet for bird, Player C is 23 feet for bird.

  Player C misses his putt.

  Player B's turn.  Player C concedes the 18 foot putt to player B!

  Player A makes the 2ft putt and the hole is halved with the Skin carrying forward.

  I agree with Andysons collusion possibilities plus it is not over until the ball is holed as in stroke - i.e. there are no concessions allowed.

  I assume the OP wants this feature is to speed up the process, but this would be negligible as surely players are not taking 90 seconds to hit a putt from a couple of feet.

  It also amuses me in match play or a/s when a player does not concede and the person putting gets the hump - I expect to hole out and never get offended if someone makes me putt out - it is part of the game, as is holing out in skins.
