  It's happened twice to me now, when a player times out twice and is disqualified, at the end of the game the screen shows them as the winner. Their score being whatever it was when they were disqualified.

  If you follow,

  I agree with Rich. I has also happened twice to me now. The latest one says I got beat by a score of 15 when he quit on the 3rd hole. I also got the notice that due to the fact I was so far behind did I want to quit?

  Thanks WGT

  Yes, it's a glitch, and yes, the "so far behind" notice is ridiculous. But it's not a big deal. Far more important issues to worry about.

  Hi

  I agree with you on the "so far behind" notice, I've seen that whilst leading.

  Agreed, to a point. I'm asking for purely selfish reasons, does this reflect in my average?

  Cheers

  Don't see how it would. Only the score you shoot affects your average. In stroke play games, you're really playing against the course. What the other players do doesn't matter.
