  I've had an ace, platinum, diamond, gold, silver, and bronze accuracy awards...along with some others.  My profile shows I have two awards.  WTF?

  Yeah, I'm lying Snaike...It's a free game...cmon.  I was just trying to help them find a problem, if this truly is a beta.  And it's really not that hard if you've played any other golf game in your lifetime.

  So, what was the name on your original account?

  Well, you're right, of course, it is a free game.  Won't cost you a penny to play.  Might cost you a few dollars to upgrade your equipment, but that's on you of course... your choice all the way.

  But, even the free games have TERMS AND CONDITIONS that the owners set forth that you must agree with in order to play in their sandbox, so to speak.  One of those is:

  Each user participating at WORLD GOLF TOUR (WGT) may have only one player account. If you wish to create a new player account, please contact us at support@worldgolftour.com. If World Golf Tour determines that you have more than one account, all accounts created subsequent to the first account may be automatically terminated without notice. Continued violation of the Terms & Conditions, including the creation of more than one player account, may result in the termination of all of your player accounts.

  See, when you get into winning contests and making money, even in a FREE GAME, if you have to cheat to do it, it's considered illegal.

  Not that I'm accusing anyone... just making a point.

  This is my original and only account...sgsundqu.  I'm an IT manager and I saw wgt.com while I was watching our routers on the weekend to see what employees were doing with their time.  Sigh...I post a simple comment to see if anyone else was having a problem and I get accused of cheating.  For your information, I started my account and started playing the 9 hole closest to challenge and played it all day and the next.  In fact I thought that was all there was to the game...the 9 hole challege.  Currently I rank 40th on that challenge, so obviously I played it a lot in a couple days.  During that time I had an ace and all the accuracy awards, in which don't show up on my profile.  That's all I'm saying.  Say what you want, but I'm 33 years old and have never cheated on a game in my life.  In fact I'm part of communities that are all about anti-cheat in online games.  I don't know why I'm defending myself, but it's pretty lame to accuse someone of cheating when it's possible that someone that's been playing games all their life might have a little skill.  Name the game Snaike, I'll take you down. lol

  Hi sgsundqu, I see you have a tin ace award and diamond accuracy award. You should only see the highest level award in your profile, not all the lower ones you've earned along the way. So if you got the tin, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, crystal, and diamond accuracy awards, you would only see the diamond one. Does this answer your question?

  Thanks WGTalex,

  I guess I should've looked around a bit first before posting.  I swear when I did the initial post that those weren't the two awards I had, but whatever.  That looks right to me. :) Case closed.
