Do Moderators even check the tournament standings?

  I just had a look at a few of the current stroke play on offer.

   

  One chap is leading the 'HACK' category in three tournaments - WK35 18 Hole Single Play, The Michelin Challenge, and Best of Par 5.

  His stats are impressive, check these babies out:

  Best 9 Hole - 180 LOL  (bagger central)

  Best 18 Hole - 59

  Driving - 89.05%

  GIR - 96.3%

  Sand Save - 85%

  Scrambling - 60.71%

  % putts from 0-5ft - 50%

   

  Damn I wish I had been that good as a Hack a month into the game. 

  He seems to be flying under a chinese flag. As are 5 of the people on his friends list - all Level 1 hacks. LOL

   

  Talking about Chinese flags, if you look at the top ten of the WK35 18 single play at Cabo there are 3 players all named after a golf ball, lets call them 02, 05, 06 and four players with the same name beginning with X...... A thinking man might conclude they are obvious multi accounters.

   

  Where does that leave an honest hack trying to earn a few measly credits to advance in this game?

  Come on WGT, take a look, or at least don't have tournaments for Hacks.

  SHAME ON YOU for asking:) They are FYI also always impeccably dressed

  Sadly the mods take the wrap in these forums - tough job sometimes I guess.  Any way splitting hairs as know what ya mean...

  I have not studied your post in depth for any specific issue, but on a serious note of course wish more could / would / whatever be done.....Loads of threads on all this ...sadly for good reason...

  I agree Peter and you do not have to be a rocket scientist (no disrespect to you) to detect these players and they are rampant in the lower tiers - as you point out, just look at virtually any tournament tosee evidence.

  Now I have never been vocal on this issue, but I will make an exception today! Come on WGT, you really are embarassing yourselves and losing genuine players by not being proactive on this issue.

  Now often we hear that is the girlfriend/husband/uncle/aunt/son/daughter/cat/dog/hampster or whoever living under the same roof and is never the same person,

  So I am sure collectively as a company, you can muster enough brain cells together to come up with a solution to prevent future occurences. Please!

  The person in question was at Master level when they entered the tournament. As it was a month-long tournament it is quite feasible for the player in question to have moved up from Master to Legend during the course of the month. It it not possible to enter the monthly WGT tournaments outside of your tier.

  My first reaction - UNBELIEVABLE ! But after taking a step back, I then thought , nah, this is just typical. 

  I will never understand where people find the time to have all these accounts and actual use them all. Man! Talk about "no life",,lol. seriously.

  hey guys  

  isnt that a bit unfair, surely they have to be in the certain tier to play the round and surely if u have moved up a level from the time you entered and the time u played you should be inillegable  

  if that the case cant every1 do that to gain easy credits for themselves, think wgt leaving themselves open to trouble,

  I signed up for the master open at the beginning of august a few days later i was promoted to tour master. Been doing surveys for too long so i started doing ready goes and seems win help you tier up i think i have around 160 rr but not sure how it works. I was promoted to legend a few days ago and cant wait for the challenge. But highwinds from these tees are bad i dont know how anyone can shoot so low i had 30 winds on 3 holes. But from what i read if you signed up before you tiered up then you still play and it has been that way. Janet
