For the past 2 weeks now, the load times at the beginning of an alternate shot round is grossly excessive. On more than a few occasions, the rounds had to be cancelled. In addition, disconnections while playing has increased to the level that most expect it to happen. A number of times the system doesn't bring you to "clubhouse" waiting to re-connect but just shuts the game down. This is a wonderful game and kudos for the creation of the alternate shot game, but the joy is being sucked out due to these seemingly curable imperfections.
