  I am a fairly new player, only been really playing for a few months. I really enjoy playing tournaments, however I only play the free ones. As ones where you earn credits are generally won by people who are sandbagging. They are really easy to spot, when you see a master shoot 58 in a tournament for example, but when you look at his scores and they show he scored over 250,000 several times playing a 9 shot challenge... Its easy to tell what that person is doing... Why can't, WGT stop this, Its not real hard to just through out those types of scores. I see it all the time. Better yet promote them when they shoot that type of score once they get to say a Tour Pro level.

  Bill-

  As a new player I think you're confused at the scores you're seeing. I believe the 58, you mentioned above, is for a round of "stroke play". The score of 250,000 is most likely from a "blitz" game and that score can be easy to get if a player has played that course/game many times and has all the shots dialed in. You get a boatload of points for hitting the flag stick and about 100,000 for putting it in hole.

  If you play a blitz game on a particular course and get to know all the shots you too will be able to hit the 250,000 mark.

  Without seeing the player profile you're referring to, I see no signs of sandbagging from what you have written.

  Have you checked your wall lately, Bill? Your club owner is trying to tell you something.
