DAZZA501: An auto ding program might not help your chipping, pitching & putting or help with reading wind but put an auto dinger in the hands of someone who can chip, pitch & putt & know how to play the wind and they'd be unbeatable.
Most likely true, but it would have it's drawbacks. For instance, in case you got metered you couldn't back off your shot with the auto dinger. The meter speed also slightly varies, even with the same clubs and balls. And we all know of cases where dinged shots started at the pin, not the marker (had that happen to me on some holes enough times to make me intentionally stop dinging - #11 on RSG with left to right wind being one of them). It would also be useless to all of us who aim putts by intentionally missing ding, unless you could turn it on and off and only use for some shots and not for others (I have no idea how this thing works).
DAZZA501: There's cheats in this game just like any other and we probably can't even begin to imagine how many there are but if you know of any and have proof then report them. That's all we can do.
I for one have never even thought about potential available cheats. What's the point of playing or winning if you know it isn't you who's doing it. I pity those sad individuals with such a low self esteem, that they would need to use cheats to win at a simulation game. If I had proof of anyone doing it, I'd feel sorry for them, but I'd report them anyway (I think).
I hope this covers the rest of what you said, D. ;-) I'm pretty sure most agree with you, that's why the replies were scarce.
