KNOW WHEN TO PICK UP
When you are playing betterball matchplay, make sure to employ a putting strategy that won’t assist your opponents.
When you are playing betterball matchplay, make sure to employ a putting strategy that won’t assist your opponents.
For example if you face a putt that means nothing because your partner is in much better position to win the hole, but you might give away some important information to your opponents about the green’s line and speed if you make the putt, rather pick up your ball and let your partner finish things off.
Furthermore, if one of your opponents is facing a birdie putt and the other is lined up for a bogey at best, but is in a position to provide his partner with crucial putting information, concede the bogey putt.
