Relax, Jobeak, you're an exception. By your score history is looks like you did it the way you're supposed to. You played a lot of rounds in each tier, it's just unusual to see that much golf that regularly. Personally, I'm jealous and know how easy it is to play for hours on end.
If you're as new as your date says you probably don't know about the multitude of wise-guys that think they can manipulate the system with multiple IDs. At first glance your advancement seems fishy but one look at your stats says it's not. Only recently has it become a waste of time setting up another ID to gain advantage but some still do it.
Keep hacking away and have a good time doing it. Winter's got a ways to go. :-)
