Gimmie Suggestion

  I get tired of playing against "Hacks" (some are even level 15 or above) who continue to take the 10 foot gimmie.  First of all, a 10 ft. gimmie is ridiculous because never in a real round of golf does anyone get such a long gimmie.  My suggestion for WGT is to add an option on the selection page that allows "Gimmies" or "No Gimmies" as an option in the one-on-one play.  For example, it would say "3-holes w/Gimmies" or 3-holes No Gimmies".

  Stop playing the hacks then..set the game up to play only pro or  higher..I would not play any player that is a hack..or under a certain level..or just play match play..in that game there is no way a player can take a Gimmie unless you give it to them

  I quite agree with your suggestion for Gimmes, I just finished a game with two hacks who had gimmes at 10'! How many new players on a course would consistently hole a 10ft putt or even an 8ft putt. When setting up a game the host should have the option to allow gimmes or not and also to set a distance if he / she allows gimmes.

  You have to accept the gimme. Just decline it. Bob there are no 5 woods in this game, use a 3 hybird

  Thanks for this answer. I didn’t know I could set it for pro and above. Hello didn’t even know a hack could get a 10’ gimmee
