I am very generous about gimmes and don't expect the same, but I will say this (and this is one of the many reasons I never play for money). I have tee'd it off with some guys who played for money and because they did I never gave anything. One guy who was clearly better than the other 2 guys is just giving away gimmes. Anywhere from 2 inches to 10 feet he's saying GOOD, yet he is putting all of his out. In my head I am thinking wow he's a nice guy.
So fast forward to the back 9 and we are hole 14 and the past 3 holes have been pressed. One guy chips it really close and has a tap in for par. He looks at the better player expecting him to say GOOD. Of course he doesn't and makes the guy putt it out. He misses and the better player takes 4 skins. It was like he was waiting for that moment.
In all honesty he probably was waiting for that moment. That is part of gamesmenship. I have heard of a lot of people doing this to get in their competitors head.
