Pin In or Out?

On habit alone, I’m a pin out guy, I see the hole better, and I just have a better ‘make mentality’ with it out. Also the thing they didn’t do was account at all for skilled putters who ‘die the ball at the hole’ like I do. I only hit it hard enough to put it a couple inches past the hole if I miss, unless it’s a shorter one I’m trying to take the break out of. I think they’re approach to the types of putts they’re hitting is a bit flawed

Took a while for our geezer group to fall into a routine satisfactory for all. Now, the pin stays in for everything down to the 3-footers and under. Still a mixed bag for those short ones. I just leave it in. Others want it out for the really short putts.
Sure has sped up play by being able to leave the pin in. Of course, we are known as the NASCAR group since we flat fly around the course.

If you weren't such a shitty putter you wouldn't need the pin. :p
The practice green was closed and my first putt of the day was about 45". The other time was a 40" putt on the 3rd green. By then I got the speed down. Got a T5 in the tourney.

I missed a par putt today because the pin was in. So mad.
