  Why do you get timed out on your down swing. Happened 3 times and and then lost a good match AS after hole 15 sudden death. Said I disconnected 3 times.

  Don't take 89 seconds to start your swing.

  Sounds like:  A) at least 3 time outs  B) 3 disconnects C) sudden death match that

  went at least 4 holes.... This may be the record for the longest match ever played.

  No thanks..lol

  Your right YJ but things do come up like the better half wants to know why this or that is happening to her car. Be nice to have a pause feature for distractions that come up. Matter of fact is that the game never gave me a warning and the screen just froze, had the exit and then return to get it going again. Oh well s%$# happens. I think we were on the hole 6 of sudden death, great match spoiled.

  But what happens if it froze on you when loading and then it only gives you 20 seconds to aim and shoot?  Happened to me the first and only time I tried a match play here

  Plus, duffer and I do a lot of chatting during the game, even on our turns because we're in no hurry.  Maybe a request to "take 5" that the other player agrees or declines.

  I went the 6 holes of SD w/ duffer and I never saw a timeout warning once.  But his side froze up 3 times and eventually killed the match.  I was a shame the system spoiled one of best (if not the best) matches I've had on WGT.

  
  

  I'm wondering if timing out during the downswing triggered the whole mess?
