I entered a Country Club clash as it said the event ends in 20hrs and 34 minutes. I used a pass. However when I got in, it said only 5 minutes were left in the clash. I went as fast as I could, and was one under after 3 when it said the event had ended and my points would not count. Worse still, it just threw me out of the round on the 4th hole.
So I wasted a pass. But also I was on a good round and should surely have been allowed to continue the round, even if it meant I was not contributing to our teams effort.
In those circumstances I would expect the pass to be given back. Now I cannot play with a pass until the next one is released.
