    A secondary drop option together with the default actual one, where opponents do anyway finish that hole on which they eventually agree on dropping.

    Just another suggestion.

    How does one drop a hole?

    Is it in the Rules of Golf by R&A and USGA? If not, why should it be implemented?

    How does one drop a hole?

    Is it in the Rules of Golf by R&A and USGA? If not, why should it be implemented?

    Not the hole, the match, You can only drop a game (from MENU, then SUGGEST TO DROP), holes are "conceded". But when it happens, it must be on any given hole right? Then why not have a secondary option which also gives the chance for opponents to finish that hole? This works even better if opponents happen to agree on dropping at extra holes.

    Something like:

    - Player A suggests to drop the match and end this hole

                                   "Agree" or "Decline"?

    The point in implementing this, is players in a mathplay game may want to drop not because of lack of time or because one feels as having no chances anyway or similar common reasons for dropping, but because after getting to the end in a tie, they're somewhat nervous yet satisfied already by the game they had up to then, so to prefer "splitting the glory"... in simple words, they may feel as they both played very well but since that specific game was somewhat very demanding they may just prefer to end dropping it instead of keep playing on.

    Stats as HIOs and eagles are not recorded anyway from mathcplay games, thus no problem.. the "Suggest to drop" option is already there anyway.. I'm not inventing anything. Wgt revolves much about the concept of "career" as it is, and this option has got to do with the fact that both players have some sort of interest in playing against each other in the future when they will be in fresh better condition. I mean, some players know each other in real life or have an online relation outside of Wgt..

    Now begin to understand.

    Only do I not understand why you want this - it's only one matchplay win or loss. There are other options.

    1) Play the game until the last green, then quit or X it out.

    2) Abort the game right away and move on, maybe start an MP strokeplay with your opponent.
