All are valid exceptions, but I would say all are also subject to improvement with work and practice (and one, the yips, is perhaps temporary). I completely understand that all shots count the same on the scorecard. But I am also aware that, in practice, people get really, really annoyed when I putt for net eagle or birdie, as if I have no purpose of being on the green in regulation in the first place. As in I should expected to be short off the tee, because that just what high cappers do.Except for those that have the yips, can't chip or pitch worth a darn, can't get out of a trap or are just lousy putters.
