Last week, I played 1 hole and quit. That is given a strike nowadays. Didnt used to be in TGC1. To stop people from continually doing what you did i think  I don't care about the strike. I quit after one hole which is the same as missing a cut or finishing last. I just think there's some distinction to be made between DQ (which implies that there was some rule broken) and DNF (no rule was broken, but the player did not complete all rounds). And there's a distinction between DNF and DNP (did not play or quit). |

Never seen a DNF in golf before, only other sports. Maybe a WD though? In real life, surely anyone not finishing is withdrawing during a round, not just walking off to the pub without telling anyone. |

Definitely need to tweak these but not sure when we'll get to it - hopefully soon!

In real life, surely anyone not finishing is withdrawing during a round, not just walking off to the pub without telling anyone. It's not the same as breaking a rule such as failing to report a penalty stroke, more probably than not causing a ball to move during address, or improperly marking your ball on the green. Playing one hole is akin to tweaking your back or not being able to activate your glutes and then walking off the course to the scorers' tent. It's totally fair to "earn" a strike or double-strike. So, while we're throwing around mildly consequential suggestions, I made this one without much thought. |

a bit lazy of a question but are all the WD's people that played but didn't finish 2 rounds? or do you get count as a WD regardless if you play or not?
i finished my rounds but i think my second round didn't get finished before the cutoff so i'm in the "played but didn't post" category. was a bit confused because the society said the event didn't close for another 2 days but i see we're sticking with the original schedule (i understand why the society said 2 days fwiw). nbd, just checking what constitutes a WD

Not playing at all is as if you never registered and does not cost a strike. I think both of these are represented by "DQ" but have different consequences. |

We still have to look over this again - think it's showing DQ for those that didn't play a shot and that's not our intention. FYI, we don't differentiate from a WD and a DQ - they basically mean the same thing in that a player started the event but didn't finish. I'll look to change it to WD as there really aren't any reasons for a DQ anymore that stay on the leaderboard and everyone here associates DQ'd players with cheaters which isn't the case at TGCT.

I'll look to change it to WD as there really aren't any reasons for a DQ anymore that stay on the leaderboard and everyone here associates DQ'd players with cheaters which isn't the case at TGCT. i was just confused because there were 15 WDs from last weeks event which seemed like a lot. if they were people that made a stroke but didn't finish their rounds, than that makes sense. i was thinking it was people who were on the active roster but didn't play at all because 15 seems like a high number. i did just randomly check a few people on this weeks leaderboard and saw that "did not play" is also an option which is what i think it would/should say (obviously) if you don't play. WD definitely sounds a bit more polite over DQ and the tournament recap labels them as withdrawn players anyway. on the season summary for each player it's DQ. really just semantics, i was more curious if you'd get the strike if you didn't take a stroke in that week's tournament |

Question on exemptions...if you get an exemption and are automatically entered but unable to play, if you don't take a stroke in your exemption tourney do you roll over to the next week or drop back down?

Not sure there's been a case that's tested it yet so if you're the first let us know how it goes! |
