777999:Regarding the club(s) in question, the bottom line is that they simply exploited a system glitch and were in fact not really cheating in the strict sense of the term.
I'll accept the paragraph before above sentence about WGT being a small company with a finite number of programmers, and I agree that my experience with them has been generally positive.
But there is a difference between exploiting a glitch to one's own benefit and cheating, and it comes down to is there a victim (and if so, who).
In the case of the bug that allows players to pile up xp points for themselves (and their clubs) faster, which all major clubs are doing now, for example, there is no victim or maybe it is WGT. (I suspect, if they really felt victimized, it would have been shut down by now).
But in a competition involving other players and clubs, the WGT members and clubs are the victims. They are being pushed down the leaderboard by the unethical actions. The player doing it knows it is against the rules and wrong, and does it anyway. That is the classic definition of cheating, especially in golf.
