  Stop stressing out over the percentage. You will be fine.

  Well Buggyyy offered some pretty "stellar" advice, but here is my two cents :)

  It looks like you were unable to leave the game where you noticed a 60% player before the game owner was able to tee off. It's unfortunate, but when you hit accept you forfeited the game you were playing and that's why your percentage dropped.

  Complete a few games and your percentage will go right back up. Have fun!

  IMO  only  it will average out & the quitters will be obvious

  Get in a game and finish before you go to jail for beating a dead horse.  If you need to pee, or visit the pro shop, or scratch your bazoom, do that before you join.  Just a suggestion. You'd have to understand basic things, like up ain't down, before it would work for you.

  The main problem with the % is in match play or alt shot. When one player quits, the game is over but unfinished and everyone loses % points...

  I'm bumbling along, looking at 1997, and here it is, 2012.  I really should read something besides the label on the ketchup bottle.

  the last couple of alt shot games I played,( all where completed too) when I log out of the game, the next time I log on and hit play now I get the you or your teammate FF'd and my % goes down.  Not that I worry about it, I only play with players I know anyhow.

   

  Edit**  

   

  Just happened again,  finished another alt shot that went into extra holes.  Lost again (sigh) but was a fun round among bud's,  closed out game client, clicked play now button and it says me or my partner FF'd.  

  Bug report submitted,  and I'm only posting this so that if it's happening to others, they know it isn't just them.

  My tee-off timer concept would prevent that
