5 birdies and 4 eagles on any nine some shooting no matter who it's by.
Maybe it was from one of the two players from a CTTH game I played earlier today. I thought my score was pretty good but I've a long way to go to catch these two guys/guyesses. Knowing how hard I had to work to get my score, I can only harbour dark thoughts when someone can put the ball 1/1.5 ft from the hole on nine consecutive holes.
I'm open to conspiracy theorists or fantasists but preferably would like to hear a rational and logical explanation from someone who really knows the game because quite honestly it's beyond my understanding.

Phil,
As a new player in 2011 I played a lot of CTTH when I first joined WGT because I had no clue what a CC was. So I learned the game getting absorbed in nothing but CTTH play. After a while you get to know how to hit every single shot on the various courses and was consistently hearing the heartbeat on every shot. A stroke game varies way more than CTTH. There are CTTH pros on this game who are High Level Hack Tiers (Levels above 90s and still Hack) because they never played an entire Ranked Round yet but have thousands of CTTH under their belt. They are deadly to play against in this limited format.
When I first found Stroke Play I was clueless on how to play that game format as there are so many ways to play a hole. The people who brought me out of my CTTH existence were the members of my first CC, The Georgian. The Georgian is a wonderful CC full of many mentor type players. One of them is OLDMXR, Bob. Bob is a STELLAR guy and WGT player and he helped me any time I had a question. Stewart4100, now owner of Championsgate CC, was also a member of The Georgian while I was there. Stewart is another scholar of the WGT game who I thank to this day for teaching me the flop shot via using the "flop line".
If there are any CTTH pros out there who fear the Stroke game I recommend they contact Sue Sommers, owner of The Georgian, and ask her about joining her CC. They welcome new players and only ask you "try" to play your first WGT round of the day using a CC Pass. Sue just wants a player to be connected with the "team player" concept and to realize that her CC is there for her members. People who gripe about The Georgian either were never there as a member or were a problem member and got tossed. The Georgian is a superb CC for all tier players of WGT Golf.
So yes...there are CTTH pros here on WGT who never play the other formats and they are Level 90 and above. They are deadly accurate BUT that's all they know, how to hit a few shots in this crazy game. I know...because I was one of them (and I played with Starter Clubs and the free Starter Rock Balls).
Peace,
Paul
