Drop Match - Alternate Shot Match

  I know some people will want to take advantage of this option if it were in place, but on multiple occasions, a friendly alternate shot match gets cut short by a glitch, or an unfortunate disconnect.  Then 3 out of the 4 players have to wait 5 minutes for a reconnect, or a forced forfeit.

  I believe there are times when a disconnect happens, and the match is friendly enough that both sides would rather drop the match instead of forcing a team to forfeit.  I have been on both sides of the board (either up 2 or down 2) and the leading team must forfeit.  Sometimes it is legit, sometimes it is avoidance, but people still have to ability to accept a Drop Match request, or not.  Personally, I would like to at least have that ability when you are taken back to the player lobby to wait, all 3 can agree to drop the match or not.  Just some food for thought.

  Thanks!

  I agree 100%,,,,was just talking about this last night after repeated internet connectivity issues for a player on the opposing team......Would have totally excepted a drop game offer for the simple fact that there was plenty of golf left for either team to win, but the other team member waiting for his partner to return was forced to take a loss without any choice but had plenty of opportunity to fight back .....after all we were playing Oakmont and everyone knows that its anyones game.
