TopShelf2010:exploiting issues like this can get players banned.
this is misleading Don.... there is no known instance in which a player has been banned for simply purchasing clubs... players have been banned for multi-account activity and other nefarious behavior but this comes across wrong...
the quote that has been used to suggest players get banned for exploits was made in a different thread topic concerning a different issue... I believe it pertained to turf war or clash exploits, which WGT rep's have made statements on... but WGT has not given an official position on this and while it is frowned upon or considered a back door... I know for a fact they have not banned players for purchasing the clubs... those players are still active today long after obtaining the clubs after the clubs were not in the official proshop. WHY? because they are legitimate players...
that said, if your account is not 100% legitimate or you play at friends houses on the same IP address and it could look or come across as a multi- account... I would without question proceed with caution because it does or can put a target on your back.
