  The new game options are welcomed features to the game, minus the ad pop-ups between holes. 

  I played a four-ball match and our opponent wanted to concede a hole, but was unable to find the concede hole option button, where is it located in the game client?

  Also, I need help understanding how to read the scorecard.

  Personally I like the challenge of hitting all putts in and don't want my putts being determined by someone that don't really even know my game!!!  It gives me the practice putting in which I may need later in the match.

  All part of the strategy of IRL Match Play.  Concede the short ones early, then make 'em putt it when the match is on the line and they haven't hit a three footer for an hour or more.

  Love every part of the update.  Love the concede putt and hole options for match play.   Merry Xmas to me or rather us from WGT.

  Thank you,

  The top 2 rows for each team represent the hole distances on the holes that each respective player of the team will be teeing off on.  The player on top tees off on the odd numbered holes, the player on bottom tees off on the even numbered holes.  This is why you see hole distance numbers on every other hole.  The green and gold shaded areas are where the score for the hole is represented, and the darker green and gold shaded areas in that row are meant to indicate that the hole was won by that team."
  'The green and gold shaded areas at the far right indicate the score for the match"

  There is no concede hole in the AS format. Maybe down the line but now right now.

  I'm getting quite a few players dropping out of an alt-shot game. It's a domino effect, when one drops out, they all dropout - [game over] just like that. It's super-great fun if the match goes to the end though.

  The alternate shot format is great. There is one caveat though. It is best played with players of the same tier, or at least one of each in each twosome.
