    I do similar, post on their wall that my 8 year old has more class than them, and they shouldn't have toys-out-the-cot tantrum,

    also given "good sportsmanship" is a WGT rule, I use the report abuse link

    Two suggestions,

    1/ The player who stayed in get's all the XP that would have gone to the players

    2/ The average 3 hole game takes 10 minutes.
    When someone forfeits in a 3 hole game, they cannot start the next for  ... 10 minutes

    Nothing irks me more on a 3 hole match, except maybe for the guy who tells me over a 2 foot tap-in on the last hole that the only reason I won is because of my "rank number" (I don't know what that is) and then simply disconnect without forfeiting requiring me to wait for multiple timeouts before I get the credit, XP's, and apparel pack due me. With the 30 minute apparel pack rounds this can be the difference between getting a third round in under the wire.

    I've started blocking these folks. At a time I thought the disconnect was mere ignorance on the other players part but this morning I had someone disconnect, reconnect just in time, and then let the shot clock run out twice over a 4 foot final putt on the last hole. There should be a thread where these folks can be publicly shamed.

    Concur! I really like the ideas of blocking and shaming!

    Oh please, life's too short. Let's just have them taken outside and shot, and move on to the next game.

    I think I'm on page 4 (or 5) of players I have blocked.  It's almost a daily occurrence when someone forfeits prior to their final putt (or worse, logs off leaving me to wait and see if it truly is a connection issue).  It would be nice if we could "get even" and have the game allow us to set a Maximum Number of Forfeits our opponents can have before we play them.

    I'm OK if a person has to leave the game because something came up (lost track of time, important phone call, etc) but the amount of d-bags who forfeit because they are losing or have a bad shot really needs to be dealt with.

    I just played someone with 850 credit balls. As soon is we got to a hole over water with a headwind, they forfeited.

    And, it seems finishing to get an apparel pack has lost its appeal.

    I agree with this so strongly it's hard to find the right words. Since we cannot take them out back and shoot them is there a way to quarantine them? Make them play with each other and quit wasting our time.
