Blatant Sandbagger

  Due to me being annoyed with ready go inconsistancies, 2 withdraws after each other, i decided to throw all my credits away in a challenge match, to stop me entering ready go's again, but check this....

  How is it right to play in a challenge match against someone, an AMATEUR, who's on level 66, with all the best gear, only played 8 ranked rounds, but over 200 m/play rounds, and plays like a legend???

  This is blatant cheating, i'd rather just quit and give the sad person credits rather than carry on...WGT should go back to TIER based equipment.. or put same distance drivers off same tees!...BEWARE!!, I've never encountered a sandbagger before, but a legend playing of AMEATURE tees with same equipment nearly???..come on that DOES take the pi55!

  We all know where you are speaking from Chris,I also agree that on lower level tiers like Amateur the big weapons shouldn't be available,But if i was going to play MP  for credits i wouldn't  play any amateur at all,i would only play TMs and Legends  and i wouldn't play TMs at certain courses like Kiawa back Andy's front nine etc.

  I don't think that lower tier players shouldn't be able to spend their own cash and buy upgrades.

   

  I do think it's crazy just looked at monthly 18 hole amateur tournament and the winner shot -10 single play also

  When I look at the guys profile he is a master as of the 15th October 2012

  But checked out his progression and says he moved up to pro tier But then nothing after that .

  How in the world is this guy in am tourneys and shooting -10..

   

  should be able to buy big drivers and good irons if u can afford to.

   

  But wgt should have something in affect so u cannot be level 80 and a hack or am shooting -10 

  Not that It affects me  since I just play free tourneys for now but WGT players are not going to spend credits to compete with sandbaggers.

  The change in how sandbaggers are advanced in the tiers should help some here. Already in the thread about the new change 2 or 3 sandbaggers have complained about being advanced after winning a match play match.

  Chris, no one forced you to play a L66 Amateur.  The forums have this type of thread running constantly.  I would think you'd have known better.

  Just because someone has gear and kicks your azz, doesn't make them a cheat.  I just ran into one in a challenge match that didn't miss a putt.  I looked up his stats and he putts worse than I do.  I guarantee you he was running hot as hell.  Nothing I can do about that but try and keep it close and pray he makes a late mistake.  

  I have played my share of Legends while running hot, and nothing is more insulting that being called a sandbagger because I'm running hotter than I ever have.  Everyone is not a cheat, and there is no way you can prove otherwise by only playing them once.......other than not playing someone with a highish level for their tier.  That's just common sense.

  Surely he could only have  had low end G20s / R9, and med wedges..at best ?

  Those RGs must've wound you up.....poor opponent choice, but you did say you wanted to lose your credits.. ( every cloud has a silver lining )..  :).....Andy
