There are many players in this game that do not play golf on the links and do not understand or know the etiquette of the game. Many of these players are gamers. I recently had a discussion with some people regarding the cheating going on at WGT.
It is very common for gamers to find cheat codes for games and use these to play those games. They do not feel they are cheating, it is just part of being a gamer and winning the game. That same attitude carries over to WGT.
WGT might consider a message to all new players regarding what is considered cheating and the etiquette in playing this game.
