Default Bag Putting
Is tapping out putts without taking off your bag considered rude? I like to sling my bag on and off as least as possible during a round. If someone you were playing a tournament round with always bag putted inside 5 feet would you be offended? It doesn't bother me in the slightest, I am wondering if anybody considers it showboating. I've seen many pros bag putt from further...

Not in my opinion. I've actually never heard anyone say that it is showboating or rude? It might be kind of dumb in certain situations, and it might cause said player to miss a putt once in a while, but I don't think it's rude or anything.

That being said, next time I see u do it, I'm calling a courtesy violation on you!

Yeah and I am calling a concentration violation on you and you better know you are going to hear it if you are having a bad round and you miss one of those putts!!!!

Not rude. Not necessarily smart, but not rude.

So long as you're actually putting out, nothing wrong with it. If you're just slapping the chains, that could irk some people though.

I always advise my friends to take off their bag and putt out because the one time you do miss that 5-10 footer, you gonna dwell on it all day and blame the bag and so forth. I don't care if anyone does it, but if they miss a putt, I don't wanna hear their BS.... However if they slap the chains without the disc coming to rest in the basket, i'm calling that for sure.... THat is just like picking up a golf ball 4 inches from the cup and not putting it in...

In a tourny, roolz iz roolz. The putt has to go in the basket. There ain't no rule against showboating. Not a writ one, at least, eh? You just don't want to miss the unmissable putt. Not unless you can laugh it off, anyhowz. Murphy's Law will often as not apply and sh*t will sometimes happen. Don't worry about offending anyone with your goof-up. Just be sure you can remain good company after you screw that pooch.

It never even occurred to me that putting with a bag on your shoulder could be considered showboating.

Now, when Brian Cook putted between his legs and missed at Jet Wash last year, that's showboating. What a twerp.

anyway i have never considered it rude or showboating. i have done it more than 1 time in tourney's, and as long as it comes to rest in the basket i do not care how you got it there.

Now if you miss it i might give ya shyt about it also expect the same in return,being the tight knit MM1 div. for most of my disc career shyt tends 2 flows from all of us in 1 way or another most of the time anyway.... but always in jest

I should try this! Maybe one of them might actually stick.

And the difference is.......?

That kind of sportsmanship belongs in events that are specifically geared towards showing off i.e. Slam Dunk Contest, Home Run Derby. It has no place in regular competition.

Perhaps tourneys in the future could offer a Trick Putt Contest. Until then, leave the trick putts at home. It only makes the competitor look foolish.

I have absoulutely no problem when a competitor of mine does anything (within the rules of the game) to put himself at a competive disadvantage.

Josh Anton (great California golfer) Takes almost all of his putts inside the circle with his bag on... out to around 25 feet... JERK

But he is among the best putters in the world... Is it intimidating? Yes? Is it rude? No, he's not trying to comment on my putting... what do I care about what he does, unless he's distracting me while I'm shooting... It would be like getting mad at someone for throwing a turn over on a hole that I was planning to throw a forehand on because their shot looked easier than mine.

I've seen him blow up over a bad shot. I bet he really flips when he misses a 20 footer with his bag on.
