Tapping out
So, even though I play a Pro Tour event almost every week, I still find myself asking my card mates if I can “tap out”. After almost 10 years of playing, it seems like a silly question since it’s a “speed of play” type of thing. I’ve only been carded with one person who wouldn’t allow me to tap out because she “believes in karma”. I thought that was an interesting take, so now I ask every time in case someone else feels the same way. I’ve also had a cardmate who, before the round, announced to the card that she is 100% okay with everyone tapping out and that we do not need to ask her and we all agreed and felt the same way. it ended up being a super smooth round.
I enjoy being a relatively quick player, so I never have a problem with someone throwing ahead of me in the fairway or on a putt. (Just not off the tee…I had a bad experience regarding that last year but that’s a story for another time!)
In your opinion, Is it an unspoken rule to go ahead and tap out without asking, or should you ask every time?
