  @jude29,

  Good idea.

  If players want to quit a multi-player game, let them quit so others can continue playing. No change to the screen needed and no need to return to the lobby.

  WGT should know the difference between a no-fault disconnect and a player clicking a button to quit a game.

  WGT has already said they don't know when a player x-outs a game with that being said it should still give up the extra points for having how ever many players it started with but good idea to let folks leave whenever they want to

  the one problem i see , what if i'm in the middle of my swing and someone forfeits ?

  is it gonna effect my shot ?

   

  otherwise i agree , make the forfeit button available at all times ... all that said there will still be azzholes that will just X out anyway ....

  Sounds good , but what you can also do is very very simple .

  First join a country club and create a good friends list . Then play and only play those players from your friends list . I dont know why people make playing this game so hard but they do . Players who are so afraid of shooting a bad round shouldnt play multi- player rounds . Just that simple , so if the initial suggestion doesnt work , try this one .

  Leave it as it is, that way WGT gets all the forfeited credits in a skins game. Come on it's a business, they need the money!

  Hey Jude, quitters make it bad
  Take forfeit button and make it better
  Remember to leave it open from the start
  Then it will start to make the game better
  
  Hey Jude, don't be afraid
  You were made to wall post him or her
  The minute you let da quitter under your skin
  Then you begin to abuse the fecker

   

  I have always been surprised this button is not always available, but I suppose Lonnie gave the prudent advice - as some players will just x out regardless as they are whining little mommy's boys.
