i have made other replies to other entrys on this subject today, you should read them. I still believe that a real person who commits to playing a round of golf, no matter the type of game or number of remaining players would appreciate a degree of ethical behaviour by informing the other players that you are leaving the game. it is called courtesy to a fellow player. In todays younger, more modern world, many ways of doing things have been changed because, it takes to long, I don't care attitude, so what?, It's not necessary, and other reasons just as lame as these are. To be a player, not a visitor, is important to many of us at this web site, if you chose to remain a visitor that is up to you, if however you want to be a fully recognized player then i think you need to revise your ubderstanding of what it takes to belong.

Belong to what? WGT isn't your exclusive club, it's a public game. Anyone can play. To be quite frank, if I'm playing in a group of 4 and there's one player hacking their way around course, I'm sometimes relieved when they quit!
If a player says "Sorry guys, kids need me", or "Sorry guys, have company, gotta run", I have no problem with them leaving. It's just a game, and people's real lives are more important. I think we should try and remember that before judging people so harshly. You speak like a person leaving a video game is a personal affront to everything you hold sacred. Perhaps you're taking this game a little too seriously? Just a thought :)
