During tournament season I putt everything out, basically just to make a habit out of it. At the same time, I don't get mad if someone in casual league wants to pick up a gimmie for me.

I'm almost superstitious about my disc actually touching all of the baskets during a round. Even if a friend picks up my gimmie putt... I'll usually run over and just tap the chains with my disc to keep the mojo clean.
Something about it not feeling like a 'complete' hole if the disc doesn't touch the basket. OCD??? Quite possibly.
In golf ball golf, I would always putt out and did not give "gimme" putts to other players (otherwise they would assume 'gimme' putts at increasingly long distances).
Same in disc golf. Rather than swipe the chains, I try to put the disc in the basket without the disc touching the chains, if I can get that close. But I always putt out.
I .... would rather train myself to focus and finish out the hole than assume I know what's going to happen.
