How I avoid forfeiters

  Been playing for nearly 4 months now, and most of my matches end up in forfeits. I blame that mostly with my top level equipments, expensive balls, and little knowledge I learn. Now I'm leveling the playing field by using not so expensive balls, missing my meter often, which results in just mostly par. Now I finish most of my matches, but still winning most of them, just not by much. That's how I do t, and it works..Thought I share.

  It's pretty sad that we have to 'lay off' or ease up just so delicate snowflakes aren't beaten too badly and their little feelings don't get hurt at the first sign of possible loss.

  They picked the wrong sport for equity and participation trophies.

  Wondering if we can get WGT to disable that 'gift ball to opponent' option to crybaby quitters. They didn't earn the right for a gift, imho

  There are gamers and golfers here - go figure!

  And, gifting is your choice. Say NO!

  You are in a club with 149 member roster but you have only 29 friends . My point is that you shouldnt have to almost throw a round just to play .Go through your club roster and friend your most active members for multi player games . Also after every completed round you play with players not on your list then you friend them . 

  Play your game as best you can and play to win . If they play to the end of the round then those are the ones worth playing . Stop cheating yourself and dont worry about the quitters because sooner or later you`re going to have to weed them out .

  Yeah, I just joined My CC, and started my friend invites within my CC. Hoping to play a real game, instead of wasting my time.

  I set the game parameters such that only players 1 level below my tier, and any above my tier, can join the games I start.

  I also reject any players that don't have a Green completion check mark and only accept 1 player so there are just 2 of us playing.

  Mybe we can suggest to WGT that quitters have XP point deleted/reduced/subtracted after a forfeit. Giving XP points on a per shot or hole basis only rewards them. Taking the XP points away is the only way to penalize the crybabies, in my opinion.
