  Having qualified i can tell you how hard it is.

  My question is,i have noticed some qualified players are tour master ranked.How can they do it ??,are they playing off the back blocks or forward tees. If there off the back like legends then questions may be asked

  Everyone plays from the same tees, same wind conditions and green speed.

   

  What are you questioning if a TM can qualify?  The first day out I shot 64 on my third try.  

  I'll ramp up on trying to make the cut in a week or so.

  And WGT can catch the real cheaters anyway.

  Not sure where you got this impression, but I don't think it is the case. They have never professed to have caught anyone who wasn't caught due to their own negligence. Which shows example of cheats in use and not blocked or discovered. Not that their lack of admission means they haven't caught anyone, but I think the evidence shows differently.

  I'm not sure if they can catch the cheaters or not, but I have noticed that a few of the "best" players have "disappeared" from the game for a period of time. Some have come back and some have not. One player that comes to mind, was playing in 5 or 6 Ready Go's a day and winning most of them. His last round was February 8, and hasn't played or been heard from since. Just curious if this is some sort of suspension?

  Yes, you nabbed us, the secret society of players, those round after round I played were faked just to fool the masses. I mean I finally shot a 60 and to keep anyone from questioning me I even had 2 bogeys. I mean come on, I did not really want to shoot a 58 and bring the cheat police on me. Now, instead of accusing people of cheating go friggin practice and maybe you will have a good round like a few of us did.

  The top clubs are no longer unlocked by tier if you will but by xp levels and many tour masters and even masters are at a high enough level to have the best clubs available. I have the best I just don't use them as well as some of the top players. And my putting really sucks at times.  But that being said I came close to qualifying last weekend before I messed up the last 2 holes.

  Well, if they were cheating, let us hope they got caught and banned. How effective WGT is at this is debatable, but it does happen. They don't announce it, however, so no one really knows except the guilty party.

  It would be great and calming news if we knew for sure it happens.  Zag, are you assuming it happens or do you know for sure it happened?  (Not counting the one that was brought to WGT's attention from the Ladders site.)

  Not to me personally, God forbid! But this is according to statements in the forums by Admin etc. I also know that when suspects are reported, WGT makes it clear that any action taken will not be disclosed to the player making the report.

  Got it.  I was hoping someone could report first hand knowledge of personally knowing someone who was caught using a cheat software thing.  Even a post saying, "yeah, I was playing with a member who taunted me and said he was using a auto clicker, I reported him, and he's gone, no longer a member." would be something.

  I've never heard even a second hand rumor of someone being banned for using a cheat.

  Not saying it doesn't happen because I haven't heard, ...just sayin'.
