  Many sandbaggers won't show career earnings because to have career earnings you must compete in ranked rounds.  Therefore, over time if you are doing well in tournaments/ranked rounds you will be forced to the next tier.  They avoid this by playing challenge play with a tee advantage (skins and match play challenges).  These earnings will not show up on their career earnings.

  As to the member stated by putts... hard to say if he is a serial sandbagger as to not having a lot of recent challenge activity but its possible.  Too easy to game the system still.. not sure what WGT has done to enforce this but hopefully they still have more in the works.

  save your energy guys ....even if you report someone and provide proof via screenprints where the individual either admits he has more than one account or provide some other type of definitive proof - they still wont do anything.

  I have resolved myself to it being a lost cause and so dont get nearly as aggravated as previously.

  I'm with you Andrew... I originally was trying to advocate for those players that are getting screwed by these sandbaggers but it really doesn't affect me.  It only hurts WGT in the long run.  They are saying they are doing something and will eventually be forced to as customers decided to leave after they get cheated.  

  I will take their word for it and move on.

  Say the serenity prayer 10 times and I guarantee you will feel better guys.

  I for one am a big supporter of boycotting Sandbagger and Multi accounters.

  I will add though...I have been playing more M/P randomn players and have met some very good people on here. Whilst I dont play for credits I do always play ranked rounds. Heck I just recently found out how to play practice rounds believe it or not lol.

  I love it when a person sets up a practice M/P and I find myself teeing off the Baby tees lol. Its alot of fun :)

  I guess what I am saying is I am lucky to not have experienced the bad sportsmanship, quitters and such playing multiplayer games. I do not enter random A/S games though because I would lose my mind if someone quit halfway through a match . I try not to set myself up for disappointment and usually only do 1 vs 1 M/Ps.

  Im on a 8 or 9 game win streak BTW. I wish WGT would give extra XP points for win streaks and other great stats accumulated as you play in these type of games. I feel it would promote more people to play these games and lower the quit rate because people would be playing for something other than just a win.

  Cycle 1979,

  I think u hit the nail on the head!  WGT is doing as well as they can to put a stop to the sandbaggers. I am presently a Master and I personally love to see good shots by anyone and play WGT & real golf for myself, I don't feel I need to prove anything to anyone but myself.

  Again I like ur ideas.

  I agree with everything you say brian and these people are just miserable "spongers" feeding off everybody else's hard earned cash, however, nowadays on this,they post the players "Match-Play" record which was an ingenious idea and has stolen their thunder :). Only for that I would have packed up a game I really like.
