    Guessing I'm not the first to say regarding forfeits, but I think 1) You should earn a win if the other guy forfeits (or loss if you forfeit) 2) Get rebated your country club pass to use again if the other guy forfeits. I tend to hold my passes until I anticipate a big XP bonus only to have my opponent forfeit after missing a tap-in on the first hole.  This is not just hacks and amateurs.  Its also a lot of Tour Pros and Masters, etc.  I estimate at least 50% of my opponents forfeit.  Very frustrating. No need to punish the forfeiter, just don't gyp me out of a win and a legitimate contribution to my country club from the pass.

    There are literally 100's of 'forfeit' posts in these fora. Have a read up if you think it will make  you feel better, though I doubt it will. In all the years (well half of one) I've been here I have only had one player forfeit due to a phone call he had. Maybe you're mixing with the wrong crowd.

    Your first sentence says it all.  If you look to the right you will see the search box.  If you use that before you post a question/comment you might find it has already been answered or discussed..

    CC passes are free and given every 12 hours after you use one.  If you want one back, just wait for a bit and WGT will replace it for you without asking.  But that is the only way you will get one back.

    If you are buying CC passes, everyone will want to know WHY?  What are you gaining by their purchase?

    If you value giving those big XP bonus's to your CC, then perhaps find a different way to play to make sure nothing happens.  Perhaps play a solo tournament round, or AS/MP with friends you can trust not to drop out.  Or play just 1 random hole using your pass to be sure the bonus XP's get to your CC.  Or perhaps even 1 shot, but I haven't tried that one myself.

    If you owned a very expensive car would you had the keys to a random stranger and ask him to park it for you?  That's what you are doing with the CC passes you value so much when you play with random people.

    Think about it.

    Gee thanks for your thoughtful and verbose reply. Judging from your number of posts I'm guessing you have a lot of time on your hands to read lots of posts and school the rest of us with the obvious. I do not care to waste time reading posts. I logged in to add my voice to the improvement suggestions. Perhaps if enough people *** they'll change something. At a minimum the forfeitee should get a W.

    Do you have any friends?  Try playing with them instead of random people.  As far as the rest of what I said, I simply pointed out an obvious ways to avoid what you were complaining about..

    Either read the forum or expect to get called out when you post stuff that has been discussed to death.  Do you really think that WGT has waiting just for your voice to point out the problem before they change things?  Seriously, think about it.

    No one tried to "school" you in the obvious.  i tried to politely point out different ways to do things so your precious passes don't get wasted, as you appear to put a great value on them.

    My time is my own, and compared to many I'm just an "Amateur" tier poster when it comes to quantity of posts.  As far as playing with friends, perhaps you don't have any, considering the tone you took with me.  I was polite with my first response.  So, "Whatever Dude."   Anyway it's not going to change so learn to deal with it.

    TheOlathean:
    2) Get rebated your country club pass to use again

    My two Pfennig:

    a) Don't buy CC passes. NEVER!

    b) Play for CDP (with a free pass if you like) in a solo game.

    c) Play MP games for fun only, not for any other reason!

    d) Don't hope for changes - hope is futile in WGTland.

     

    Since you "don't care to read", I'll only explain it further if you ask.

    After your needless and 'snotty' reply to phred OP, you may go forth and multiply.
