Country club passes / opponent forfeits

  Hi, why is it when an opponent forfeits a game, either through a connection issue or when they believe they have no chance of winning and disconnect, that all XP's are lost and the country club pass has gone.

  This means that you lose some 1100 XP's through no fault of your own if it's the first game of the day.

  Realise that there will be connection issues and sore losers who disconnect,  but can there be a way that the CC pass and the daily XP bonuses are not lost.

  Thanks

  i find the best way to use your free pass is play 1 hole practice, you have a good chance to finish it also.  still get good points

  One, since the latest change, the CDP XPs and streak won't be lost if you only set up the match. Reportedly, they are awarded by the first stroke of the game to whoever plays this first stroke. The other players will be left out, I heard

  Two, the CDP awards will not be missed on you because you can always start another - solo - game, play a shot and quit to get them.

  Three, neither you nor your CC really need the XPs IMHO, so why bother for something which has no value at all and no factual worth to both of you?

  P.S. happy to see that you don't buy passes - why not buy some better wedges?

  I never use the free pass against another person. Always use it in a CC tourney or a CTTH...Once I get the bonus and have used the pass I then play other people.

  In a nutshell-and I have personally verified this-if YOU set up a MP game and take the first stroke of your new day as the host, you get the points regardless of what happens after that, you just don't see the end of game confirmation. Hover over your XP progress slider and you will see your current points. Note that before you play and you will see how it works. :-)

   

  p.s., I know you said basically the same thing, alosso.
