  You just have to think of it this way, I'm a legend, if i play St.Andrews front 9 for example, i average maybe -6 (-7 if i get good round, -4 on bad), but if i was to play off white (master) tees, i can average -8 most of the time (-9 on a good round, -6 on bad). 

  So if i was dishonest and wanted to win credits, i would re-start a different account, play along to get decent equipment, keep playing mediocre rounds in free tourneys PAR rounds, but then enter ready go's and score better (especially challenge matches)

  I would have 2 years experience in an account that is open for a couple of months, and people see my level 60 and they will play me because they think i'm as good as them, but underneath I'M A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING (A LEGEND IN A MASTER SUIT >LOL)

  And would skin all the masters who play me. As he said "easy $$"

   I know there are ppl who join up 1st day an shoot unbelievable rounds,and are cleaning up in tournys,but having said that we have a player who only joined the site in August in our CC and has just become a tour master so maybe there are players with a certain amount of natural talent..

   

  RUSSELL

  Is that me Rusty? I'm now a struggling Tour Master

  I joined in August, I play no other computer games, haven't since Duck Hunt way back...found this site through an advert on a completely un-game related site and decided to join. Had no idea I would get hooked. In fact when people asked if I played X-box or whatever I would say 'games are for kids'.

  Do I have 'natural talent'? NO

  Have I spent real money on equipment? YES.

  I bought equipment as soon as I could because I wanted to improve. My first equipment bought at Amateur carried me through to Master when I changed my whole bag when I'd leveled up enough to get the good stuff.

  Do I play everyday? YES and mainly ranked stroke play.

  If you look at my stats it works out I have played 3/4 rounds everyday since joining. Also joinng CC and desperately wanting to win tournements, which count as ranked rounds, I played alot. Add in the help from CC members, forums and people I played Alt.shot/Matchplay against and its no wonder people can move up quickly.

  Now I'm not saying anyone is accusing me but if I can do it, real gamers can easily.

  Multi-accounters/sandbagging are not the same as someone trying hard to improve in the game, playing/practising regularily and moving up in a short time frame.

  I want to be a Legend, with all the troubles that brings, so will continue until I get it.

  Cheers

  Won't that just delay these people a few round or a few days?

   

  TarheelsRule:

  I think that the solution to this is for WGT to not allow players without minimum rounds played to participate in any tournaments, match play challenges, etc. that pay our prizes for skill play.  They can still play on the site just not for credits until they reach certain levels in terms of rounds played.

  What's with all the talented players lately, just been offered to play against a level 60 master for 2000, this master joined in august, His first ever round as a hack  was  32 on day he joined, and not a single round has been over par, it just points to 2nd account.  Some one starting new account to get benefit of playing off shorter tees.  And winning credits off honest players (if you play them).And player has "easy money" on his status screen. Says it all.

  08.07.11	Wk 32 9-hole Unlimited Play	Front 9	Hack	32

  Don't play for money then.

  Gambling for most has one end, "collect money". If you are playing for money just to have a bit more fun, then you are swimming with sharks, no matter where you gamble or what game you are playing. If you are playing for cash simply to win money, then you are swimming with meaner sharks then yourself, don't complain when they bite harder.

  The difference:

  Pryke's first three rounds - 39 @ Congress 11 days after joining, 39 @ St A 11 days after joining, 35 @ St A 12 days after joining.

  The leader of the Bouvet Island contingent with a 59.33 avg - 30 @ Oakmont the day he joined, 29 @ St A 5 days after joining, 30 @ St A 13 days after joining.

  For comparison, it took me 10 weeks to break 30.
