I seriously doubt that it will matter

  I seriously doubt that anything will be done but I sent a suggestion in to WGT about them automatically saving and reviewing the top one or two leaders in each tournament to ensure that they were not using a cheater.  All that happened was that they replied back to me and suggested that I post that suggestion on hear to see if there was any positive feedback and suggestions from anyone else.  Personally I think that if it is something to help prevent cheaters from winning, they would have jumped on it since something like that is not really a "see what others think of it" type suggestion just something that would benefit everyone but the cheaters.  Unless for some reason WGT has something to gain by having certain cheaters win?

  Oh ok. Yeah I think it's BS. If indeed there was cheating.

  I'm really new to this WGT game but I have to ask.....how can anyone cheat? If you're only allowed one account & practise a lot you could win, right? I do not see anyway to cheat at all but I'm a dummy....It seems to me that WGT is just a game of acquired skill or at least I hope so.....

  You are assuming that WGT have it within their means and capabilities to identify any potential cheats. I don't believe they do when it comes to 3rd party software identification.

  In all walks of life there are cheats, thankfully they are a small minority. I dare say there are cheats playing this game but I believe they are small in number. The ability to shoot low scores should not automatically see the envious fingers getting pointed in that players direction. There are hundreds of players at this time whom are capable of scoring 25s, 26s in any given round.

  I'm just saying that I have had a few rounds where if I had made all my putts inside 15 ft I would've shot 26/27 (of course I did not). But it isn't really that crazy to think that 1 or 2 ppl per tournament do that, especially since there are much better players on here than myself who average much closer putts and make them more often.

   

  Also if they are using some sort of click aim I don't see how wgt could prove it. Now I have played in one match play where it seemed like the guy had some kind of way to either turn the wind or break of a put off, or automatically compensate for wind and break on every putt. It took him ~5 seconds to line up his shot and he was always on line, ALWAYS, now maybe he was just having a really good day, but it did seem fishy. Again I'm not sure how wgt could prove this anyhow

  I could not prove if there was cheating or not, that is why I suggested it.

  I assume nothing. However, according to WGT themselves they have indicated that they have a way to tell by the way the hit bar acts during the swing.  All this would do is to automatically save the games until they checked it out and insured that there was no cheating based on what they have said.  Also, the ONLY ones that would be against this are the ones that are actually using a cheater.

  I agree!  I too have felt that I could have played as well as they did, that is why that I made no accusations.  The only real reason that I posted it was because of all the talk by many many others that have complained about it.  I don't really care that much because I play for fun, not to make "money".

  Like I've said before, I do not know for sure if anyone is actually cheating or not but after reading your attack, I truly do believe that you are violently "protesting" way too much!  I have observed the stats and I have seen people with fairly high avgs shooting 8 or 9 under on a 9 hole tournament or 15 or better on an 18 hole tournament.   I also know that does not mean everything nor do I care.  I play for fun on here and when I play the tournaments it does not cost me anything, so again, nor do I care what others do.  I only care what I do!  I will say that your response makes me wonder far more than anything that I have seen or read on here!
