What distance is considered a gimme in golf

In golf, a "gimme" refers to a short putt that is deemed so easy that the player does not need to actually hit it. The practice of giving gimmes is common among recreational golfers, but it is not recognized in official rules of golf.

The distance that is considered a gimme varies depending on the skill level of the players involved. For beginners, a putt of two or three feet is often considered a gimme. As players become more proficient, the distance they consider a gimme may increase. For professional golfers, a putt of up to four or five feet might be given as a gimme.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to give a gimme is up to the players involved. There is no official rule dictating the distance that constitutes a gimme. However, there are some general guidelines that can help players make this decision. If the putt is very short and straight, and there are no obstacles in the way, it is more likely to be considered a gimme. If the putt is longer, more challenging, or if it is important for scoring purposes, it is less likely to be given as a gimme.

What is the average distance of a gimme putt? The average distance of a gimme putt varies depending on the skill level of the players involved.
Is there a penalty for giving or receiving a gimme? There is no penalty for giving or receiving a gimme in recreational golf.
What should you do if your opponent gives you a gimme? If your opponent gives you a gimme, you should thank them and accept it.
Should you always give your opponent a gimme? You are not obligated to give your opponent a gimme, but it is considered good etiquette to do so when the putt is short and easy.
What is the difference between a gimme and a tap-in? A gimme is a putt that is given to a player without them having to hit it, while a tap-in is a very short putt that is usually hit with a gentle tap of the putter.
