Dear members,
I have been a spokeperson for a lot of members that are really sick of all the players that quit their rounds. I have about 200 names now.
I am in contact with WGT every 2 weeks and we are really pushing them to act, because it destroy the game and nothing happen for those who quit.
And i have discussed a nd suggested a lot of changes to get this stopping.
Unfortunately we have discovered that there ate about 75 % of the quitters are Americans, coincidence or not? Tell me, but thats the fact.
And about over 70 % are players with high level that dont want to "destroy" their records, pathetic.
Now i got a respond from WGT today that there are huge changes on the way, finally.
Here is what they wrote, and please all out there, do you act like that on a normal golf course, of course not, so lets have fun and enjoy this.
There is a war going on and we should not even thinking of behave like this, ok.
I know that the people that quit of course not agree with me, but today we have quitters ib 7 rounds of 10 in alternate shot and 3 of 6 in stroke play.
Here comes the answer from WGT:

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for messaging us with your concerns for the game and the overall community of players.
We understand the frustration caused when players leave games before they are finished and we are developing a resolution for this.
The development team is currently in deliberation about the decision to add a penalty system to the game to increase game completion.
It would enforce a strict punishment on players that leave games, and reward players that choose to stay until the games full completion.
I cannot tell you when it will be implemented, but I can tell you that it is being considered as a possible solution.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated as it helps create an optimal experience for our users. Thank you!
If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us and we will be glad to help.
Regards,
WGT Member Services
