  Any form of cheating should be reported to our CS team. Make sure when you contact them that you provide some proof like a screenshot. This can help us in dealing with multiple accounts and overall cheating.

  Thanks WG.  I've reported it and am watching their accounts.  So far, it's been three days and they are still doing it.  You can see it in their short history. .I've decided I won't be spending any money at all on this game as long as they are allowed to do this.  It's a great game but I simply can't support a company that cares so little for their users.

  That's what they were doing.  They would intentionally miss the putt if the other would win the hole.  Had the other made the putt the skins would have carried over.

  Same as Paul, gotcha.  You did indeed get mugged.

  Stick to playing with friends, there are too many sharks in the pool for my liking.

  Screen shot of what? Pretty hard to prove someone deliberately missed a putt I'd say.

  Maybe if people just report players they think are playing as a team in skins the same names will keep coming up and something could be done.

  Rpgsales, don't play skins.  There will be some there that are multi's, some doing what you saw and many with very good equipment for their tier (wonder if a multi could play with two of their golfers in the same skins game?).  You are a TM with some of your equipment from around level 40, you'd have to be exceptionally good to win.

  Exactly my thoughts when reading WGTyphoon's reply.

  Documented proof always helps in these matters. Regardless if it seems silly to take a screenshot it is the best option when reporting matters like this. Without proper proof it sadly ends up being wild accusations. You can take a screenshot of the final scorecard for the player. In the end this assists the CS team when they investigate the claims of cheaters, hackers, and multiple accounts.
