  I hate it when you start a game, andyou get the people who quit after a few bad shots. If you can't handle the games up n downs... don't join a game... just play with yourself! .... Just venting...lol

  I agree. Quitting stats on profiles could be nice :)

  Because they are drunk and don't really care.

  Vent for me too!

  I lost XP for 14 consecutive days played because Lenny1971 forfeited the game on the 2nd hole. He missed a birdie on the 1st hole and we halved the hole. The 2nd hole I left him a tough birdie and we were going to go one down, big deal, plenty of game left. He quits, we go back to the lobby and before the countdown clock can even get to 4 mins he forfeits the game. And this all happened on the 2nd game he was involved in with me in a 12 hour period. Fortunately the first game he was on the opposite team so I at least got a win for that one.
  
  I'm sick of wasting my time and my money on a bunch of losers. I think I'm going to start a blog on my wall with a list of quitters. Sometimes you can't tell if it was the player or a WGT problem but when they forfeit the game themselves it's pretty obvious they quit.
  
  WGT really needs to come up with a way for us to know who the quitters are before we start playing a game.
  
  I would also like a way to block players without them having to be on my friend's list first. If there is a way to do this already please let me know but I can't find one

  From my experience, at least 8 out of 10 are quitters at one time or another, so if you want a list do as I say. When you start the game just say to yourself ",myself, at least one of these people in this foursome is a quitter. It is not me, so the chance of this game going to a peaceful conclusion is about 20%"  NOW, wgt does not have to make a list, you have the list

  That's not a solution. I've played all night long with no one quitting. And then yesterday I won 4 games in a row in less than an a hour without finishing. One of those wins without ever hitting a ball due to either someone quitting or something else. Maybe their computer crashed, maybe their Internet went down, or maybe it was a WGT problem. No way to tell since they didn't forfeit, they just disappeared and I had to wait on the clock to count down.
  
  Oh and your math is wrong. If one of 4 players will quit that means you have a 25% chance of not finishing a game and a 75% chance of finishing it, not a 20% chance of finishing it. And right now to be honest I think it's 50/50 on whether you will finish a game or not.  And that is probably being optimistic
