  Read this from a lvl 86 Hack with high level RBZ's and zero ranked rounds played:

  I only play Alternate Shot. 

  HOW DO YOU SANDBAG AT ALT SHOT?

  Was there any signs of his other accounts .... maybe WGT could look into the multi-accounting with this player.

  Dunno - I don't see much harm in this player. He plays no stroke, no matches, and on two pages of his activity I only see A/S (= no Skins). A few Blitz games with meagre results, he won't win much, if any.

  His language is a bit rude, but not towards me - no further action planned here.

  What is the purpose of this player to have 180 on very many tourneys he play?

  Is he trying to downgrade himself? (is that even possible?)

  Don't know about that case any more, and don't bother to look after two years,

  but high scores are sandbagger's efforts to keep the average up and avoid a tier change. It won't work because the game collects a fixed number of the best(!) scores for such calculation - higher scores are irrelevant.

  Downgrading in tier ain't possible.

  I saw this before when people were trying to level up to buy equipment. Like when special offers at lower tiers for 'limited time only' happen.

  It is apparently faster to putt 10 times off the tee and move on to the next hole than playing the course properly, and you get the extra 180 XP points for the strokes. All using starter balls of course.

  I am at a loss why this player would be trying to Level up --- nothing more available!

  This player is now L 110 Legend  (Ave 74+)  and has managed to cobble together some of the worst stats I have ever seen.

  Perhaps he is going for the WGT 'worst stats record'  ???

  Driving Acc  68%

  Sand Saves 14%

  Scrambling 27%

  1-putts  33%

  No wonder he is complaining about people beating him. It must happen a lot!
