  Doctors DO have integrity.  But those that slip through the cracks, there's an internet based web site that you can check against for Board Certification here:

  To verify a doctor's board certification:

  • Use board association websites. For most boards, begin by looking at either the ABMS Certification Matters site or the ABPSwebsite. You can learn if your doctor is listed and which board he or she is a member of. Access to the doctor's credentialing information requires you to register and log in. The process takes only a few minutes. You will be asked to guarantee you are using the information for your own, personal reference.

  This should be easy to do and would require very little effort on WGT's part!

  I did comment earlier in the thread anyway, and that still stands. 

  However looking at your equipment there is easier going to be had.  have you tried the black balls? many have used those to superb effect.  Those Blades are nice but fast and miss wrong side brutally unforgiving. The L90 ball with an BS will also compound any error.  Looking quickly the rest of your equipment is hardly the most user friendly either (with ding issues in mind).

  Not trying to get in the way of WGT answering you although I would say any response at all is more likely to be off line via CS, not main forums.

  Whether wgt can do it or not is the question.  I would say no, only because people will abuse it for their own advantage.

  You don't have to ding every shot for it to be a good one. You just have to learn to compensate with aim and distance if you cannot ding

  So I have to spend MORE money with WGT to get clubs and balls that are more forgiving? Which ones would you recommend?  As far as the abuse issue goes, why can't a doctor's signed waiver work?  Do you think that there are the many users with Doctor's in their "hip pocket" that would be willing to violate their hippocratic oath yearly to reverify those users, all for $5.64 worth of tournament winnings every year?   I wish you would reconsider your decision.  The  issue would be harder to violate than you think.

  Feller I can't comment on how fake claims could be policed.  It's just beyond my pay grade especially for a global game.  

  Wish I had an easy solution for you but I don't.  

  Maybe speak with WGT and perhaps get a 1 days free rental - no clue if they can just for you.  With a free rental try a few different clubs after looking at the pro shop, and a less fussy ball. The max range might be worth looking at, and maybe they could bump you up to L94 for the top max irons.  Not the solution you were looking for, but perhaps a way out for now.   I can't comment on prices either as am just a user here same as you...

  I would suggest the issue is way, way, way easier to violate than you think.

  I doubt WGT has the time, the manpower, or a need from a business perspective to pointedly respond to every suggestion offered by players in these forums.
