the only reason to let a forfeit bother you is if you want the XP from a completed game.
This was more of an issue before 1 hole coin games.
We used to play 9 hole games to help max out XP especially as first daily round.
But with the glitch there are better ways to max XP if want to play 9 holes that aren't dependent on other player staying in game.
also as i stated the 1 hole games are worth such a piddling amount of XP that the video offer after is worth on average 5x more xp than playing the hole was.
So forfeit away.
That being said i rarely forfeit mainly because can always hole something out and tie it up if having a bad hole.
However, if i have that occasional major blow up. hit a tree, land in 60-70 rough, lose a ball. there isn't going to be a way to catch up on that hole. just no point in wasting mine or the other person's time.
often when the other person is struggling and you know it's going to be a double bogey or worse i wish they'd just hit the forfeit so i'd stop feeling bad for them. it's a pointless waste of hits on a golf ball.
case in point. Congressional #6.
I hit second shot within 4-6 feet. Even if i miss short eagle putt i'm going to get a birdie at worst.
other guy puts one in the water. he now has to hole out from 220 out in order to tie or probably still get beat.
he doesn't forfeit, tries the shot splash another expensive ball gone.
ok now there just isn't any point in continuing. it's over. but nope.
hits another ball. splash.
finishes the hole. the 1 hole took around 10 minutes to play. he lost two balls he didn't need to lose. we both just wasted time. could have been prevented.
