  Wow, just perused the stats of a lvl 28 Amateur, and was very impressed.

  14 ranked rounds, 90 odd birdies, 90 odd pars, 3 eagles and 18 bogies.

  Putting stats a drool-worthy: 5-10 ft @22+%, 10-25 ft @12+%.

  This player came to my attention in an RG tourny with heavy conditions. He handed in a card similar to many skilled and experienced players.

  Club selection is indicative with someone who has played the game before at higher lvls. Driver, irons, and WGT ball, but house putter and wedges.

  I would hope that double account players are found out at an early stage, so as to avoid them stealing winnings off of honest players.

  The game seems to be full of amazingly talented new players these days.  I got a friend request yesterday from someone who joined this month and hit 1 under over 18 holes at Erin the next day.

  Something I've noticed about a lot of new players recently is that they go renting gear as soon as they join. It makes me a bit suspicious as I doubt many people immediately put money into the game so they can rent stuff.

  Could it be there's free rental for the first few days when you sign up for the mobile version?

  Borat,

   

  I'm thinking there are two motivations for starting a second account:

   

  1. Player was kicked.

  2. Vanity.

  Yeah, player can putt, for sure.

  Agreed. But the putting stats show only that his distance from the pin is not that great and that 12% of his total made putts were from 10-25 feet. We have no idea how many he missed. They could've been from 10,01, he could've been playing unlimited tourneys, etc. But yes, surely not his first dance.

  12% from 10-25ft. Show me a top tier player with those stats at that distance..

  Unlimited rounds only count if you hand in a card.

  Agree, not his first gig

  Free rentals every time you go up a level. New players go up levels very fast.

  MD players get 'coins.' All they are good for currently is renting equipment. I have 265,555 at the moment. No, I don't play the MD much. I just use it to get video credits.
