  Play 18 hole skins or match against someone, and pick/concede/forfeit on 1st tee? It's a quick way to gain XP's and before I do it, I'd like to know if it's against the T&C or just frowned upon. If it's the latter, I can handle being frowned upon.Just don't want to break any rules and lose my account. Sick of playing Par 3's with free or starter balls for XP's.

  I'd like a moderator to give me a definitive answer, please.

  Thanks,

  Jay

   

  You're only allowed to pu/cc 2 holes I believe.. Tried it in 18 hole alt shot game where we had to resume from #15...Started b9 and cc'd 1st 2 each but had to play 14

  My question would be,  how many xp's would you get for not taking hardly any shots like this?

  +1 out of curiosity.

  I've been told that the winner (after one player creates a game, then forfeits on 1st tee) can get 15,000 + xp's in less than an hour. If 2 players swap doing this, that would be about 7-8,000 xp each.

  I agree, Jim, about WGT stating whether they are OK with this. If it's not against any rules or T&C, I'm going to find someone and give it a go.

  Have some appointments to make,, so hopefully this won't be one of those "ignored by WGT" threads, and I'll have an answer when I return.

  I agree with James and see no issue wgt would have , not "harming anyone and actually helping wgt's  bottom line(through purchasing of new equipment).  I have seen worst ideas i.e. the Clash or "money grab" .  

  If worried about completion rating just conceded holes back and forth and complete the games.
  

  Just throwing this out there I wasn't privy to The infamous par 3 glitch and how about bringing that  back limited "edition" for short steed of course please?  I could use some xp's as well.

  Cheers!

  Same here,  nothing against any rules with someone ff'ng a game or conceding any hole really.

   

  Just think you'd at least have to tee off first.  But still, wouldn't be much time at all.

  That's precisely as far away from the point as it's possible to get, and after that it just gets more wrong. 

  Thanks Jim, spat tea all over my  trousers!

  Flippin heck, LOL.

  During my short and undistinguished military career, managed to salute the RSM at my officer interview, and carried on from there, LOL, I did learn one thing.  If you knew there was going to be an order not to get out on the piss after an exercise, then best to get out on the piss before the order was given :)  That bit we could achieve always with military precision as well as getting really shyte faced at the pub, LOL.

  Point is If that does transpire to be the case might be best to get that driver soon.  I suspect this is one, ahem "bug" they may be correcting.  People like you doing it for a fast ooomph to the next level I doubt they give a crap about.  If they do they should get something better to care about, like some real issues, but I predict silence followed by it not working next downtime (or close to)................:)

  Chamomile, no doubt.

  The number of concedes is limited.

  I still think a Par 3 tourney in ur CC is the best idea, at least 4 rounds in an hour gives over 1200 Xp's, plus can win awards which sometimes can be 400+ Xp's.

  U have 2 par 3 courses now so that is 4 different  9 hole courses if u so choose.

  Yup...long standing bug..

  That ACTUALLY favours the players for once !!
