  Well done Poldimaier - great shooting there......

  One way to avoid this kind of Sandbagging is to limit higher stakes RG (say anything greater than 100cr) to TM tier or higher, or put all players off the back tees on RG's.  

  Where else can a professional sandbagger like this get back the credits blown on the equipment - 

  1) MPC - I think WGT have blocked/inhibited baggers from grinding out MPC fleecing with the new match play result tiering up system

  2) Monthly Premium Tournaments - only one a month anyway and only start at Pro tier (also big creds only payable on higher tier tournaments)

  3) Leaves high stakes RG's - if WGT block/inhibit bagging on RG as per suggestion above, then I don't really see much scope for bagging left in the game.

  The system allows it and they are making better clubs for these lower tier players. Sadly but seems they are almost saying hey start over and kill all the ready goes on the way up to legend. So if he had another account and wgt knows then they won't do anything. It's wrong but if he didn't break any rules then can't call him a cheat.

  It is cheating when you post a 68 for 9 holes and then fire a 54 for an 18 hole RG - period.  Also, I believe that Pizza or Icon stated that if you restart you are not allowed to win credits until you reach the same level that your first account was at, so this person may have restarted but if he/she did it was at a very low level.

  Oh yes now as far as the score manipulation that for sure is against the rules. I didn't see those high scores posted. But we will see what wgt does if anything.

  I often wonder why it's so readily accepted that wgt will do nothing about this sort of thing.  Simply because they haven't (to our knowledge) before is not a good reason to just shrug and say same ole.

  it's probably due to the fact we have no idea how to pressure them except maybe SPEAKING LOUDER and more often?  We need a strategist to help win this war with no commanders in chief helping sort it.  Sounds like a rebellion eh?

  **there is a tiny bit of fun knowing a lower tier player took credits from higher ones though**  said with a grin

  Yes that was the rules, but they have since been changed.  It does'nt matter now....

  However wrong it is.

  Isn't this the meaning of sandbagging? It's right there for WGT to see. Shooting a 68 in a 9 hole tourney, then in the 50's for 18.

  C'Mon WGT. I thought you were going to do something about this!!

  

  Spammage and Madbg were robbed.

  >>>I remember some years ago...I was a 18 handicapper (in real golf) Playing with a regular foursome (my Dad, My Uncle & a Family friend)...we belonged to a club back then and we played every Sunday...and once a month we played at our home course (for our monthly tournaments)>>>anyway one Sunday I shot 100...the following Sunday we had a tournament in which I was placed in 'B' flight with a 18 handicap !!! But that day...something happened ???? And I shot a Scratch 71 !!! Won the tournament that's a 29 stroke difference !!! But I wasn't sandbagging!!! I'm just saying ...could it be possible...that just like that day that I had...he on here just happened to of had that kind of day as well !!!! Or has he shot a 54 in 9 before and has he did it again ??? I'm just saying. Is it possible for any one of us to happen upon that kind of fortune once in a 'Blue Moon' !!!

  Just look at IT's score history ^^^^^^ 54 and 58 in the 500c rg's and 64.97 in a ctth challenge, THAT my friend is NOT once in a blue moon 3 of IT's 4 scores above are Tour Legend territory!!

  IT is a cheat, it sickens me that IT is allowed on this site!

  All for the gain of a few credits, what a sad life IT must lead!!! 

  I wish that I hadn't come across this thread because it is PATHETIC that it is allowed to happen!!

  Wow !!! this just happened to me right after I had made the previous post !!! I have been playing real lousy since about the second week of September....barely finishing at even par on the back 9 at Kiawah.  I use to shoot & finish (fairly regularly) between a -4 and a -6 !!!  Well right after the previous post I made...believe it or not I shot a 29...7 birdies and 2 pars !!! I know that is a far cry from what that gentleman shot and what you all were discussing !!! But if any of you had been playing with me since September and would have seen how I have been playing...and then all of a sudden if this was a 9 hole tournament and I shot this 29...would you think I was sandbagging...or was this just my 'Blue Moon' ??? lol (laughing to myself) because this is both ironic and kind of funny !!!
