Yep, after reading the forums for a long time now it's obvious that "Quitters" piss off more people than any other issue.
And everyone seems to want punishment for these low life quitters, many suggesting retaliation just short of death.
I have a confession. Nobody has ever quit on me. And I think I know why. This actually might work for those who are being quit upon. Whenever I strike up a match with a fellow (stranger) golfer I'm always interested, via chat, in where they live, do they play real golf, where do they play, where have they traveled, their favorite restaurant, what life in their city/country is like.
Within a couple holes you've made a friend. And friends won't quit on you.
Note: I do not converse with these folks to keep them from quiting; I converse with them because I'm interested. I'm guessing a lot of you who are quit upon do the ol' ns, np, thx routine. That isn't conversation. Get to know your playing partner... be friendly... tell her WHY that was a nice shot... isn't that why we play in groups?
Because if your attitude of wanting to win and grind your opponent into the turf comes through I can't blame them for quitting. Which just happens to be the attitude I'm sensing in almost all the posts by those who hate quitters.
