Again, that's why I suggested to WGT that they add an ' 18-Hole Only Search mode . The Main problem and why 18-Hole Searches are almost extinct, I think is because too many regular-9-Hole players are choosing the ' Any ' option for the number of holes they want to play? But they don't realize or understand that it also interrupts 18-Hole Searches too and as soon as they see it's an "18" hole search they get out immediately and the search is ruined.
I wish "they" would show a little more consideration for other members trying to find an 18-hole game and start choosing ' Any 9 ' or ' Any Front 9 'or 'Any Back 9' instead of just ' Any '. How difficult is that to do? lol They already know they don't want to play 18; so why choose ' Any ' when they already have Three 9-Hole Options available to them? Makes no sense but perhaps they think it might find them a game quicker? But in fact, it is NOT quicker because most of the time, they will encounter 18-hole searches and/or a 90-Second Default Shot Clock which most Legends/Tour Legends I agree, won't 'watch paint dry" waiting up to 90 seconds for each person to play a shot and then they will just have to start another search for a 9-hole game anyway.
"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink." or think lol
I have to believe that wgt does this or wont change this on purpose, because the "fix" is sooo simple. They can make the default show " front 9 ", so that all those wanting to play something different will have to change it. A better solution, but a little more difficult is to leave the values to what they were when the player last played.
For the most part, WGT could make the "search for games" function a lot better with a couple of simple changes. They choose not to for some reason.
