Conceded Putt

Conceded Putt

Conceded Putt

In Match Play, when a player allows his opponent to pick up her ball without taking the final stroke to sink it into the hole (Kelley, About.com). The player concedes that his opponent will make the put and allows her to skip the action of putting the ball into the hole. This is illegal in the official Rules of Golf and in Stroke Play (Kelley, About.com). Conceded putts are a courtesy offered, typically, on very short putts, though the offering player can concede a putt from any distance. Players can’t ask their opponent to concede them a putt, though hints are not unheard of. The conceded putt is scored as if the hole was sunk.
