Forfeited games and weird shots !!!!

  For some reason, even if i finished a game, the next time i sign in my computer tells me that i forfeited... and obviously, the % posted next to my name when playing is getting lower and lower.

  In the other hand, in EVERY ROUND i get a couple of WEIRD SHOTS, even if i get the "ding" the ball takes its own path, not fair when that path is OB and costs you an extra $ 1.00 dollar ball.

  I sincerely expect that WGT wizards do something about it, i very much enjoy playing for fun and making friends, but having frustrating rounds due to weird shots or being posted as a quitter its just not fair.

  for the past week I am getting the same message after I totally finish 9 holes and sign off, then come back on I get the message that I forfeited the last game..............I had not !!  I completed it.  What do we have to do to get WGT's attention on this ?

  I have gotten the same message when completing a game also the few days. What a bunch of crap.

  Be sure to finish the game with the "Main Menu" button. If you observe the status page you'll see that it remains active until then: The game ain't finished yet.

  Furtheron, there are bugs in the program enforcing such unwanted behaviour.

  There are deviations built into the game, also called VEM. They may cause random "weird" shots. This is a feature, not a bug.
