Corporate Golf

[USER1999]

Ok, so for instance, a major manufacturer has invited you to a golf day, they supply you with free coffee, a bacon roll (say £5), give you a free wind proof top (say £30), pay your green fee (say £80), offer you a free driver (say £200), a lunch after the round (say £30), and you are playing 4 ball match play.

Would you give a 15" putt on the 6th?

 

[Canfordhacker]

Maybe on the 6th. Not on the 16th though.

If there was a bit of break in it then no, but if it was pretty straight then yes

Depends on who I was playing! But a 15" putt is pretty makeable even for a corporate day!

15" - that's a more than missable length - I'd have a think about it.......for about three seconds!!! Reading between the lines, I'd be giving putts all over the place - 15", 3 foot, 10 foot if the golf, a driver and the food was free!!!

In fact, just the free food and I'm the gimme king!!!

Yep!

I know my place....

Its not The Open, give the putt!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I would have thought that would seem a reasonable gimme in that sort of event. Its not the end of the world and you are a guest of sorts

Depends, is it the manufacturer giving the putt to the client ?

It's just a dilemma, but obviously you are the customer (on the freebie), they are the supplier, hosting the event.

Yep I sure would.

They say us Scots are tight, but by the sound of it you Sassenachs give it a fair crack.

 

[Dodger]

And the answer to your question is no,never,not in any match.

 

[DCB]

bad form if the supplier lets his guys win. Not good for customer relations. Next think it will be all over the trade press or worse, the web

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Its one of those that I'd have thought would be pretty easy to give at that stage (unless you're 5 down already) and better to give one then and make him putt one that length later

 

[Region3]

No-one misses 15" putts do they?

From the reactions I just had to go back to the top of the page and check I hadn't misread and it was really 15' !!

Give it and move on.

Did they give it or not? I guess you're talking about your master for the day?

 

[Smiffy]

I've only just seen this post Murph

 

[slugger]

this all depends on one thing...

are you a giver, or a taker
