  At Master Tier there are no gimmies in ranked games. If you play practice rounds then you'll see gimmie putts inside 2 feet.

  From the WGT News Page at the time "gimmies" were introduced.

  "You can now take a Gimme and tap in putts that are 2 feet or less away from the hole, to help you speed-up games.

  This new game feature is available for Hacks and Amateurs in both practice and ranked rounds, and for Pro tier and higher players in practice rounds only"

  At your tier you can only use it in practice.

  EDIT: Beat me to it, CD. I was looking for the quote while you were posting and didn't refresh before I posted. :)

  You don't read much, do you?

  From two posts above yours:

  Oh yes I do but,

  ""You can now take a Gimme and tap in putts that are 2 feet or less away from the hole, to help you speed-up games."

  It's about he 2  (TWO) feet.  I've got gimmie offers from 7 feet or more, that's what my question is about.

  Because you are a Hack you will always be given the option to take a gimmie in practice and ranked games so long as the put is 10 feet or less to the hole. Once you move to Amateur the distance will drop to 4 feet or less but will still be available in all game modes. After you reach the Pro tier the gimmie will only appear in practice games and it will be 2 feet or less.
