No offense to anyone but what does it matter? Regardless, it doesn't affect your score.
Obviously, the person has paid his/her dues one way or another (another account or multi practices) but again it doesn't do anything to your average or ranking (you might not get as many points but what good are points?).
I've considered starting all over again because I don't want to keep buying better equipment and balls all the time. They make it impossible to compete with starter sets for the most part. I don't need a ranking of master or legend or whatever to make me enjoy the game. Hell, in my real game I still use clubs purchased over 15 years ago and I do damn well. Just because you get new clubs doesn't mean your driving an additional 40 yards. But here, you can buy anything!
