When setting up a tournament, could you please allow for a few restarts without penalty strokes. not always, but often enough, my round will crash a couple of times. Once and I get a free restart but after I get penalized two strokes and need to requalify. Sometimes after I requalify, I experience another crash and need to requalify again but with 6 penalty strokes which I refuse. Giving up 6 strokes a round to the field is ridiculous. I'm not good enough to give back 6, 12, or 18 strokes to the field.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I understand the frustration with the crashes and restarts Steve. A lot of us that set up tournaments on a consistent basis are reluctant to installed "free" requals due to the fact that there have been numerous players over the years that will fake a crash on a bad round in order to get a "free" requal and start the round over, they are usually a small group of the same players over and over. I'M NOT POINTING FINGERS OR BLAMING ANYONE but as someone who sets up tournaments on a regular basis it is disappointing to see players abandon a round.
Like I said, I understand the crashes as it happens to me also. Usually a PM to the league owner will usually result in a limited time "free" requal. Johnny of the Amanti Tour always recommends re-starting the computer after a couple of rounds of Links golf. A few of us get together a couples times a week via 'direct connection' and play skins games. I will do me best to clean up my computer of temporary files and other clutter and then re-start my computer before playing. It seems to help.
