  YankeeJim:

  Who is he cheating and what is he cheating them out of? If you think you are being cheated by someone with this silly transparent ruler then maybe you have personal issues bordering on paranoia.

  1'st of all the words cheat , cheating me, or anyone else  are not written in my post of opinion. I said it lacks class and is lacking in love and respect for "The Game" , and when I say game , I do not refer to WGT , but the game of golf as it was intended to be. That is my opinion ; which in fact does involve issues of paranoia in that i'm slowly watching  mutual respect , etiquette, passion for golf (true passion) dwindle away and see it --->  "IT" ----> "THE GAME"  being slapped across the face from WGT to the local public course... If you don't get that , then you never had it and never will.

                                                                                                                               Ace

  I don't recall addressing a cheat issue with your name involved, Ace. Your reaction surprises me as the post before mine definitely referred to cheating and mine was a simple question and observation.

  I also didn't draw an analogy to someone playing this game and cancer, fourth stage no less. How does fourth stage cancer compare to a game??Where is that any kind of class statement? Hopefully you will never have to deal with that like a lot of others do (myself included.) It's admirable you remain a golf purist and yes, I must not have "it" because I don't see the game of golf getting slapped by anything or anyone other than the disgruntled ones.

  All this over a stupid transparent ruler..................

  I agree a 100% with you Jim.  Personally I don't use anything on my screen, but I've no issues with those that do.

   

  What I find strange about all the negativity in this thread for the OP, is Yancy posted up something like this long ago, even made a YouTube on it (remember fiddy, uh fiddy five..or something like that) and there was no uproar about him and his little sticky note ruler.

   

  Personally, I find it hard enough to hit the ding line, I don't want two lines to hit ;)

  This topic still going thought it was done & dusted 3 weeks ago.

  Oh I played with the guy who created this cheat yesterday.

  http://wgt.over.cz/

  They call it WGT Caddy

  He was advertising it hard during the game & trying to get the other members in group to start using it. Sunny here thought great ill take some a few photo`s of this conversation.

  I thought it quite obvious..."meaning something I view as terrible and unfortunate that was seemingly spreading and getting worse." Your opinion differs from mine ; thats great. It's what makes our little society tick.  However, I never intended and would never intentionally hurt someone or their feelings with such a dreaded disease in the way in which you apparently imply that I have. Anyone that has spent anytime with me here knows that I am not that kind of person. All that I have said or intended to say  is that I feel that these types of things in which Doc promoted so vigorously , in my opinion, degrades the standards of the game. Thats all. Thats it.  I don't appreciate you making it sound like an analogy used in the way I intended, is someway my character being un-tasteful  and hurtful to those (including yourself)  who have dealt with such an illness. I would never do that.

  This is bizarre. I thought I was in a time warp and kept checking the dates on the posts. This is old stuff. I just read it from the start and can't believe the reaction to this guy. He didn't do a friggin thing wrong!! You can't cheat with this thing, it's a blasted transparent ruler for crying out loud. Now everybody's making like he's some multiple account cheater.

  Who is he cheating and what is he cheating them out of? If you think you are being cheated by someone with this silly transparent ruler then maybe you have personal issues bordering on paranoia. FWIW, I have the original but I'm too lazy to set it up every time-I use a piece of masking tape on my laptop instead. I even look at it once in a while.

  Seeing as your post followed mine (wankyDim.) thats a joke btw but your welcome not to take it that way, should i to presume your observations were directed at me? As i don't have the answer to that yet, please allow me to continue to explain my post. "IMHO" is just that, weather wgt allows it or not makes no difference to me. Anything that replaces guess work with an exact measurement shouldn't be allowed IMHO. The OP post is only about  3 weeks old, if thats ancient history to you then your time warp remark has some merit.

  The player in question has been removed from this site,why you may ask...well an hole in one, a 28 yard putt, an eagle, 1or 2 over par in his first 10 rounds and all in his first  3 days, this doesn't suggest he was a multi account holder...it proves it. 

  You say in your post " you have personal issues bordering on paranoia" do you mean "you" as a single person or "you's...lol" to the general population who don't agree with you... verifying that might help things along. 

  I have to rap this up for now, but i have lots  more questions and observations....lets spread the fun around.

  No. Your name wasn't referenced either. You brought the cheat word into the discussion and I referenced it. I didn't need an explanation," IMHO" qualified the post. Paranoia peeping out there? I don't get the wankyDim joke but would expect it from you.

  Choose to think that way, Ace-you called me out for something I didn't say and used the ridiculous analogy. There were no aspersions cast upon your character. How in the hell does a transparent ruler become something "terrible and unfortunate that was seemingly spreading and getting worse?" Does my piece of tape do the same thing?

  @suncity-sluny is the guy that invented that. It's the one I have.

  The thing is,I love you all whether or not that is in any way meritorial or not,but I get a little underwhelmed when people argue and it takes a turn for the nihilarian,I wonder if each corner above has any tendancies this way also?It would be super to think that everyone might now agree to differ and to bed we can put any distaste,and while sleep prevails get on with just having oodles of fun and lashings of scrummy grog from a bottle with a glass stopper,supplemented with canned pemmican enriched with chopped cucumber.If you cut the bread into quarters,they make easy sustenance for those long haul 18s'.
