Head to Head problem

  I have recently played 3 Head to Head games on my ipad. 1 of the games I won, the other 2 had a mystifying outcome. Both of my opponents 'disconnected' so I was told, in other words they stopped playing! I waited for them to reconnect but neither did. After the 2 minutes delay I eventually recommenced the games and finished playing them on my own. To my horror at the end I was informed I had LOST. The obvious reason was that I had played more strokes than my opponents. Obviously I had. I played more holes than them!!!!!

  How can this happen when in effect they have conceded the game by not rejoining.

  Look forward to some interesting thoughts!

  In the meantime, rest assured I will not be playing any more until the problem is resolved.

  If you were able to continue then you were playing stroke play. When we play stroke play in groups we're not competing against each other, we're simply playing against the course concurrently. There's no record of winning or losing stroke play games in multi-player.

  What you saw was a WGT programming glitch they will never fix. Just ignore it like we've done for years.

  Thanks for info. Much appreciated. Appreciate that there was no record of the score. Just b....y annoying that we should have to put up with errors like this. I am sure the programming could be rectified!!! BUT......................................................WGT for you!
