  I will follow your "see this post" notes to see what I need to do, but it is not obvious why all this is necessary.  The tournament would not let me play until I was equipped with only starter clubs and starter ball.  Have other players found a way to get around this and cheat?

  All this is fair enough but all i want to do is play golf. Every time i've tried to test the program and enter a TIO without the correct clubs i always get an error msg and I can't compete until i change them. Why isn't this the same for everyone?? How are some cheating the system?? Doesn't make sense to me. I don't want to download and use photoshop and then upload and blah blah blah. I just want to play golf, and I can't understand why it detects my clubs aren't correct but others can slip through. Again, it just doesn't make sense. The TIO's are my best chance of getting a decent prize. It's more of a 'level playing field' when everyone has to use the same equipment, and i do better. But no, the dickheads who just want to win eveything have to go and spoil it for the overwhelming majority who play in the spirit of fun, and some healthy competition. Pathetic losers all you cheats. All the males who do it are softcock pussies. All the women are, well whatever. But all of you have no life. It's so sad that you get your redemption from cheating in an online game. You're so hopeless in real life that you need to make up for your loser ways online. Ok, nuff said. BTW, to all the rest of you doing the right thing, all the best. J.

  Played very well.

  Just one very bad deviation on my 3w approach to #10. Thought it was perfect but ended up way left of where it should have. Had an orange uphill sidehill 40-50% rough.

  Definitely can not count on much precision with the starters.

  So you tried to cheat and are upset you were not able to?

  Corwyn is doing everything he can to prevent cheating in the tournaments he hosts which is a good thing. Wish Corwyn did not have to do all that extra work verifying clubs used.

  I know it is frustrating especially when I forget the screen shots myself.

  Placeholder for my R1 report. Finished with a few minutes to spare, gulp... must stop cutting it so fine! (kept having to reload browser when camera views ceased working).

  Had an awful start, bogeying first two and failing to birdie 3 & 4, effectively dropping 4 shots off the bat, so not too bad to recover to a 74, especially as I barely made a putt.

  Card and stats etc are here. Round description to follow tomorrow after some sleep...

  #8 11@1130 D >200 and way too much with 2nd flew through, hit flop as soft as dared but still 3yds past, watched replay to see small R-L break, but then return putt aimed right edge and dinged but didn't break at all! darn  BOGEY
