Rules Breach - Conceding Putts ("Gimmes")

The act of giving a playing partner a putt—commonly referred to as a “gimme” is a breach of the Rules of Golf. In competition play, this behaviour cannot be condoned under any circumstances.

The Club reminds all members that every ball must be holed in accordance with the Rules, and strongly encourages players to cease this practice during competition rounds.
