Bug?

  I am new to this game. Had a dude at lvl 24 play me on a match and he kept shanking the ball or not hitting at until he was DQ'd. I played out the game and he ended up being announced as the winner since his score was lower. Is that how he jumped up in levels because he was still a Hack at lvl 24/104.1?

  Thanks

  Hey Jscott, Sounds like you may have experienced a scorecard error. Do you remember the players name you played against, type of game and the date of your game

  Excuse me, WBW, the setting is obvious.

  It was not a single or A/S match, otherwise it would not have continued after the opponent's DQ. 

  And it's a well-known flaw of strokeplay that the lower score from the disconnection will be wrongfully announced as the "winner".

  @Jscott70: This doesn't mean a thing. These "wins" will not effect anything outside of that game - finished, over and forgotten.

  The opponent's status has distantly to do with his behaviour. He will get a few XPs for levelling up, alas only one for each stroke  and none for game completion (which is much more).

  His average and thus his tier will not be affected as only completed ranked stroke play (amonst others) will cause movement there.

  Thanks guys.. The whole thing upset me because it was disrespectful but I did not want to quit myself so I hung in there. I am not sure I like this game anymore. I spent $5.00 for credits just to advance to other challenges and already I am in a rut because now no one will play with me (I join games and players keep declining) due to me being a newbie. It sucks! Just want to play GOLF :) That's all and want it to be fair!

  Just play a few ranked games to get your tier up to amateur or pro and you will find a lot more games quickly.  Doesn't have to be tourney's, though you might get a few free credits if you play in the weekly/monthly free tourneys (they also give more XP then normal ranked rounds.)
