I know there are ppl who join up 1st day an shoot unbelievable rounds,and are cleaning up in tournys,but having said that we have a player who only joined the site in August in our CC and has just become a tour master so maybe there are players with a certain amount of natural talent..

Is that me Rusty? I'm now a struggling Tour Master
I joined in August, I play no other computer games, haven't since Duck Hunt way back...found this site through an advert on a completely un-game related site and decided to join. Had no idea I would get hooked. In fact when people asked if I played X-box or whatever I would say 'games are for kids'.
Do I have 'natural talent'? NO
Have I spent real money on equipment? YES.
I bought equipment as soon as I could because I wanted to improve. My first equipment bought at Amateur carried me through to Master when I changed my whole bag when I'd leveled up enough to get the good stuff.
Do I play everyday? YES and mainly ranked stroke play.
If you look at my stats it works out I have played 3/4 rounds everyday since joining. Also joinng CC and desperately wanting to win tournements, which count as ranked rounds, I played alot. Add in the help from CC members, forums and people I played Alt.shot/Matchplay against and its no wonder people can move up quickly.
Now I'm not saying anyone is accusing me but if I can do it, real gamers can easily.
Multi-accounters/sandbagging are not the same as someone trying hard to improve in the game, playing/practising regularily and moving up in a short time frame.
I want to be a Legend, with all the troubles that brings, so will continue until I get it.
Cheers
