I will usually try to ready putt unless I am looking at a birdie or par putt with a little help from a person farther away.

I would guess, based on years of conversation here, that 99% of us play ready golf. But what about on the greens?
I, along with most of my playing partners, have the tendency to just putt when ready, regardless of who is away. I am a fast player, and often can 2 putt in the the amount of time it takes some (one guy comes to mind in particular) to even address the ball.
I usually like to putt ahead of the guy who is putting for a birdie, even if I'm closer, unless he/she asks otherwise, allowing me to get out of the way, and let him focus on scoring.
I don't think I've run into anyone who has ever cared that I play this way. What do you think?
I agree with the way you guys play, if our group is caught up, we play furthest out putts first. Actually, my groups are never behind unless someone in front of us is slowing us down.If we are not backed up & being pushed then we go with farthest out, but if backed up then yes putt & get out of the way.
Big sameies here. I’m always itching to putt out of turn but I try not to.This is where I usually respect the system, but if it's just my boys and they are nowhere close, you better believe I am putting when I am ready.

Part of it is respect. I don't want to get in the way of someone else who's away and nearly ready to go.Big sameies here. I’m always itching to putt out of turn but I try not to.
Yeah, agreed. Where I struggle is with people who look at the putt for too long and from every angle. I want to speed things up but not step on toesPart of it is respect. I don't want to get in the way of someone else who's away and nearly ready to go.
That said, if they are off changing clubs or chatting up the cart girl, it's green light city.
You're not quick enough.Yes but @Space Bandito won't let me. :eat:
Good point, we should play at a pace which allows us to make our best score; it's not a race.I play ready golf on the greens and probably play too quick for my own good sometimes causing too many putts throughout the round.
