  I even asked him why he was not a Legend and he got pretty upset with me

  Of course he did.....you touched a sore spot.

  On the plus side, it looks like he's actually playing ranked rounds now, so will undoubtedly advance to Tour Master fairly shortly.  My guess is that he'll stop there though.....since he'll still be on the junior tees.  

  It's actually quite sad that some people feel they need this type of unfair advantage.  Kinda like that guy in the bar who's trying to score with the really drunk girl.....

  He may not have realized the implications of levelling up, getting the equipment and being where he is. Maybe he just got hooked playing with friends in his CC and found himself in the chips. Now someone asks him about it and he reacts. His profile statement sort of puts it into perspective. 

  Heh-Nothing like wearing a scarlet letter on his chest. Maybe that got him going like Jerm pointed out.

  The flaw of the advancement system is that you don't have to advance, you can play well but not play enough to move up, in his case it would be to tour master not to Legend next.

  Yeah, if it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck......lol

  To be honest YJ, I usually give the benefit of the doubt to people.  In this case however, the offender and I have some mutual friends.  No benefit....and no doubt.

  And Tarheels is bang on!  It's a flaw in the system that allows this to occur in the first place.
