Do you tap-in during casual rounds?

[Chaz58]

if within reach of the chains, then almost every time.

Exactly. Why the need to actually putt from within a foot of the bucket unless it is a rule in a tournament? I don't do any frolfing with anyone, including myself, who would ever miss a putt where you are close enough that you can just reach over and drop the disc in the bucket. All it does is take time away when I or my casual group could be headed to the next tee and a 1 foot putt is a 100% guarantee anyhow. Never seen anyone miss one from that close. That said, anything beyond arms reach distance I always putt the disc, even when getting in my solo rounds.

It all depends on what my mood is that day, with whom I am playing, etc.
Generally, though, I am a "train how you fight, fight how you train" kind of a guy.

No..unless I am doing a tournament style round. If I am with friends I don't. If it is in preparation for a tournament I do to simulate the feeling of a tournament.

I will tap in if I can stand on my spot and touch metal at arms length, sometimes. If I am having a great round, I will let it drop just to avoid any question that I didn't earn it. If I am struggling and frustrated, I'm far more likely to swipe at the chains to make some noise, and move along. I wouldn't concede a 10 footer to myself, but maybe 5' or less sometimes. I usually like to play it out, because I do miss some easy putts, and need more practice.

I only accept "gimme's" if they're given. I can't issue one to myself and the dog rarely cares enough to say, "you got that," He has his own discs (haven't taught him to putt out yet). So I putt out most of the time. For both of us.

I'm unloading all my putters and mids at that bitch!

 

[KniceZ]

I'm with the "arms reach" crowd. Anything beyond that I putt.

 

[jeffsk]

If on blind hole with someone behind me will hit chains regardless just so people behind me know it's clear. Other than that, arms reach, I'm walking.

Aggressive.

I try to practice putting at least 20-30 minutes a day. Picking up anything under 10' during a solo casual round isn't gonna affect my game in the slightest.

While course bagging, anything under ten feet is considered a gimme. I just pick up my disc, and put it in my bag as I walk to the next hole. Casual rounds, I usualy do the same within reaching distance of the basket.
