Yep, I'd like to know the thinking behind the changes to the game rooms too.
I have no interest in playing just one hole against anybody. It used to be good to play longer games (3 or 9 holes) where consistency counted more than luck. I also miss the opportunity to meet and chat to players from around the world.
And what's with the tie-breaks? What's wrong with a tie after a hard-fought competition? Why does there have to be a winner? Is is an American thing?
