I was accused of cheating today for shooting an ok round... nothing amazing, but certainly pretty good.
On the first hole, both of our drives went in basically the same area. The guy stuck his 120 yard approach about 6 inches away from the hole. Mine stopped about 4 ft away from the hole. We split the hole with birdies.
On the second hole (KIA 11), he drove his ball into the rough, whereas my drive landed in the fairway, allowing me to get on the green in two. The putt was simple, albeit a 22 footer, so I had a good chance to sink it, and I did, winning the hole.
On the third hole, both of our drives landed in the same spot... maybe about five yards in between them. I missed my approach 4-5 yards to the right, whereas his approach's aim was dead-on, but he hit it 10 yards short. I sank my putt, and he didn't, so I won the hole.
On the fourth hole, we had, once again, pretty much exactly the same drive. We both pulled our approach shots, and we were both about 1-2 yards short and about 4-5 yards to the left. At this point, he accused me of cheating.
Ok... I'm sorry... what did I do better than he did?
#1 My drive on the second hole landed in the fairway.
#2 My approach on the third hole landed closer.
#3 I putt(ed) better.
(We'll ignore the fact that his approach on the first hole was better than mine was and the fact that, for three out of four drives, he got the same exact drive that I did... focusing only on the stuff that I did better.)
Now a hack program might explain #1, but honestly, when it came to #2, his aim on that approach shot was much better than mine was, but he made a miscalculation on the distance. I NEVER miscalculate distance. It is YOUR FAULT if your ball lands 10 yards short on a 160-yard approach shot that is as straight-forward as they come. If you use a calculator and a ruler (or WGTCaddy, or a Yancymanesque banner,) that will NEVER happen... so don't blame me because in reality, this guy actually had the better shot execution, and the only reason my shot was better was because he failed to put in the effort of using his brain and making calculations prior to taking his shot. Had he calculated the distance correctly, he would've been within 2.5 yards.
As far as #3 goes, sorry that I was left with a 15 ft putt instead of a 27 ft putt because you botched your approach shot out of laziness... and sorry that I can halfway read a green instead of missing easy putts by a foot to the left or right.
The point is this: If you are hitting approach shots 10 yards too long or too short on easy approaches (i.e. not BPB 15, STA 17, etc.), then don't even bother accusing someone of cheating because your problems don't come from whether or not you are or are not dinging your meter, but rather because you are either too lazy or too dumb (or both) to calculate distance. Someone that can't get distance right can use all the meter-slowing hacks that they want for all I care, and I would have no problem playing 1,000-credit match play rounds with them because there is NO POSSIBLE WAY for a ding to fix 10 yards too short or 10 yards too long... or an inability to read a green.
