Re: Stroke play Lobby Timer?

  What about being able to set the return timer to however much time "WE" would like set.    When playing a stroke play round with friends.. I would like to be able to set the time higher than the  2 and a half minutes that now runs??  

  That time set for ALT games or Matchplay is fine when competing against others; but when I'm playing a stroke round with friends, I want to be able to give them at least 4 minutes to make it back to the lobby.  I am not in a hurry to continue on alone :).   Or else I would have played by myself.      Because  9x out of 10  in stroke play rounds ....I'm not playing to compete against but for company/companionship.

  I would like the option to set the lobby time to 3-5 minutes; especially when paying to play such as Cabo or whistler.  

  Its very disappointing to have friends not make it back before the 2 minute clock runs out and I have to finish up alone.

  Maybe button "Add another minute"? If a majority of those waiting in the lobby click that button, a minute is added to the timer. When time goes below 60 seconds, option add yet another appears. Until player returns or lobbyists stops adding time

  Hi

  that would require everyone to see and would become too complicated than what it should be. we are always looking to improve and I will keep this in mind, but my personal view, that it maybe too complicated.

  Huh? You sit in the lobby, there is nothing else to see. If you don't see it, or ignore, nothing changes from the current implementation. The diff we talk about is that if you know a player is on his way back, you can give him, or her, more time.

  yep i agree wgt really need to add some improvements its like on every aspect .. right merion strokeplay coming in may very refreshing to me as i am going around every course daily like a mouse on a wheel .. add a few courses keep it fresh as the air is going a little stale .. hey im not knocking wgt great site but just needs a lil more in the way of suprises instead of lost balls and dodgy timeouts ..  my 20 cents
