   Work is for work so it gets me when i play some one and it turns out the reason i had to wait 180 minutes for that person to take a shot is, "because my boss was lurking about"

  If you are at work and can get away with playing golf, then play a quick game of blitz or something, dont waste other people's time.

  And on the other hand, play challenge matches, so people are less likely to quit, and if they do, you make some $$,And it stops the problem with people quitting in random matches

  Ok,

  You guys need to back off,

  I know I've played many games where I've started, then remembered I had to met a client, or see my boss etc.

  Life Happens.

   

  If you have enough intelligence to manage your time, and a good enough memory you do not have to excuse your inabilities to those others you left on the fairway, because of the inability to remember things, and manage your time well enough.  Now as to playing this game at work or during a period of time in which your boss is paying your wages, commission, etc.  I'm quite sure that person would not appreciate your doing so.  Life does not just happen.  Things do take place that are not planned, and a person must address them to the best of thier abilities, but take a short moment to enter the chat and say perhaps " srry ermgcy must leave!"  a small statement to that effect would, could, do wonders for interpersonal relationships on this golf game site.  My long winded nickle again.

  Ok,

  Firstly, I work from home, and do not play while I am working at all(tried it once and it didn't work)

  Secondly, the 3 times I left from a game was because my dad had a stroke, and I needed to see him A.S.A.P., and the other two were again personal reasons. Don't know why I put many times, because I've done it once.

  Don't go after me until you have enough information to make an intelligent post.

  So, just how does one makes friends and/or find a CC to join without playing randoms and finding people who respect other people's time and money?

  It seems you figured it out and answered your own question at the same time.

  There are other ways to meet people on this website without having to play a random multi-player game and get quit on right off the bat.

  The forums seem to be the best place to meet a lot of people who play this game.

  Stop complaining about people quitting everyone.  Options:

  1) Play for credits... if they quit you atleast win some credits for your trouble.

  2) Join a Country Club... I promise you that fellow CC members are much less likely to quit and it will also give you something to talk about when you play.

  3) Play with yourself....  I have a feeling those that are complaining do that alot or.... don't do it enough...

  Have hardly ever had a quitter with an under par score ! These excuses only comes up ! After bogey , DB , TB or worse yet, No chance at recovery . If it's just a game ? Let's start seeing people quit with -4's and better scores ! IMHO ! WGT should remove the quit option and have resume only . Then if that something comes up ! You'll just have to finish that round by yourself. Before moving on to next round. Thus removing all the complaints about quitters !

   

   

  My 2 cents

  Seems like this is the best place to find people to add to my blocked players list, second only to random multi- player stroke games.

  i know i was able to add quite a few legends to my list.

  WGT should have a window that appears when someone clicks the red "x" to quit, and doesn't use the proper channels to leave a multi-player game.

  The window could not be clicked closed and will remain open until a choice is made by the quitter. When the quitter clicks a response in the window, the other players will be notified that a player is quitting and the quitters name can easily be recorded on the other players' do not play list.

  WGT has a "block player" option, why not have a "do not play this player" list? And the quitter would be blocked from any future multi-player games with the player who puts them on their quitters list. Have a simple drop down menu to add a quitters name to the list.

  Reputation tracking at it's finest.
