Sorry... had to start another thread because the previous one had been closed to prevent discussion. Not an ideal situation.
I believe most members understand that sometimes you have to leave a game. I don't have a problem with that but surely a quick message of... "Sorry Guys, have to go" is in order?"
In all my years of real golf I only ever remember one person quitting a game but on this site it's prevailant.
Most of the problems can be solved by posting suggestions of ettequette, so that players know what is expected of them.
Things like....
1. Always attempt to finish your game.
2. Don't chat when a player is addressing their ball. Prepare your comment and post when players are not going to be distracted.
3. Refrain from making personal comments.
4. Don't complain if a player is not fast enough for you... there's a timer and they are entitled to every last second.
5. Be really patient with newcomers.
6. Disguise your curse words... after all, you don't know how old the player is.
7. Encourage and assist new members - help them learn
I think a code of ettequette would be great.
Just my opinion.
