Blitz timer...why so many chances?

  I've been playing a lot of blitz games lately...mostly because they go fairly quickly and I don't have to invest two hours to play a game.  But when a guy's timer runs out why does he get another :90?...and then another??!!??!!

  Slow play on this game is as frustrating as it is on a real course.  Am I the only one that gets pissed about this?

  easy solution: when you create a blitz game, set timer to 60 seconds or even less.

  I don't usually start the games...just join one.  But even if I start one the problem still is there.  :30...:45...:60...:90.,...makes no difference IMO.  If you don't hit the ball it makes sense you either lose your turn or get booted.  Just my .02.....
