  This is starting to peev me off  - 

  Ive had so many players disconnect because they missed 3 putts

  Is there a list of such players and should one be started?

  Also,  does that mean I have to continue the game -  or is forfeit a better option?

  ie   wiil it affect my rating?

   

  Again another good reason to be able to resume a saved /recalled rated game so I can kick their butt   LOL

  ahh -  I searched disconnect and its an interesting read.

  personally I think there should be a penalty  -  unless they say "  sorry Im having a bad day and I need to practice more"

  but on that note -  there are technical disconnects but they never semm to happen when they are under par :)

  Hey cutflower... a couple of points.

  1. No, there is not a list and if you think you need to start one, it will not only get deleted, it may get you a few days off.  WGT prohibits calling people out on the forums.   You can keep your own list, however you choose to, of people that you don't want to play again because they quit... but you can't publish it here.  (Have you looked at the Ladder site?  People don't usually quit there.)
  2. I have had a few technical disconnects... mainly when I am single player game, once when I was on pace to set my best score ever (/boo!)... and I have been shut out of MP Stroke and Match play games while ahead.  So, yes, technical disconnex ~do~ happen when you are in a good round.

  Hope that helps a little.  Have a nice day.
