  I keep getting to around the  8th o 9th hole and it stops. People tell me to reboot but how do you do it?

  You just close out your browser and restart it, then you will be able restart your game where you were at. But, be careful not to do it 3 times in the same game or you will be disqualified.

  I hope that what I just told is correct, if not I hope someone will set me straight.

  You're not wrong spg, but it might be more efficient to just refresh your browser instead.
  
  You can do that several ways. Hit the F5 key on your keyboard or press CTRL + R or click the Reload/Refresh icon on your browser or right click and select Reload/Refresh from the context menu.

  The 3 restart dq is only for multi player games. You can restart your browser as often as you want in solo play.

  f5 is one I use a lot on my laptop,  but CTL+F5 is good if you want to clear cache and refresh at the same time.   Hard to do on the laptop since I need to use the Function (FN) key to utilize the upper row "F" keys.

   

  Avoid the alt+f4 and or ctrl+f5  or f5  if someone suggests it in a multi player game.  LOL

   

  If all windows are closed and you are at the desktop,  alt+f4 will give you a menu to restart/shutdown.  Typically shutdown is the first option and already selected.

   

  Alt+F4 then enter is fun when a coworker is on their desktop with nothing open and ask me how to do something again for the umpteenth time LOL.
