My state doesnt allow MPC or Ready go Tournys so for me what i do i is play random match play games/or w/ buddies when not playing in the weekly tourneys so if they decide not to finish you get a "victory". Also you can meet new friends that way(random matches) so when you play stroke play you know who you're playing w/ and stick w/ a group of friends who dont leave ya hanging. Keeps those foursomes turning into just you by the 4th tee box away.
Happy hitting
2 things, I played with lady one afternoon and she made an incredible birdie putt on the last hole. I would have been over joyed to have made a biride like that. It upset her because she finished the round. And many use those unfinished rounds as practice. Most of the players that play matches like that are not playing in the tournaments and shooting lights out scores and winning then shooting an incredibly bad round to keep their average high enough to stay a pro or amateur to win more. I'm not sure why they do it but it's not to win a lots of credits unfairly.And if they are already a master what difference does it make? That would only make a difference if there were another tier above master and there isn't one, at least not yet.
I also agree with you, i have met some great people playing in random stroke and match play matches. A few that I have played quit for what ever reason but most play until the end unless they just don't putt out on 18 or 9 if it's a 9 hole match. One person quit because he was so very frustrated about how badly he was playing compared to me and the other player. Not that I am that good, but he was a hack just starting out. The other player and i were trying to help him but he just got tired of our parring or birdieing while he was doubling or what ever. I always play to the end unless i have to leave due to time restraints and I always return later to finish as solo.I play to the end because you can learn so much just watching how a player handles a certain situation.
