To the comments about when to use the passes, you should be able to use them any time you want and not have it be a problem.
It is ridiculous that you join say an alt shot game, click to use pass, play one hole and a player dc and times out. Great I just wasted a pass through no fault of my own. How is this fair? This just happened to me, and since I'm using alt shot games to hone my skills, I will be discouraged in the future to even bother using my pass.
It should be, that if you play less than 5 holes and someone times out your pass resets. Reset the xp that I gained too, fine with me.
