  I just received a notice that the Oct. 18-hole unlimited was about to end.  Seems a bit suspicious.

  Forwarded to WGT

  Cheers,

  Hi scoresby, we are looking into why some people are receiving this reminder.

  Now that Iook back thru past reminders of this type, they all are coming from my own email address.  Shouldn' t they be from Worldgolftour?

  Thanks

  I also received the same reminder from my email address. Hope this helps, WGT. Y'all run a great web site and game. Would hate that someone is pirating your notices.

  I got another email today, something or someone sending these quite often.

  Thanks for your reports. It would be helpful if you can let us know whether you actually entered the tournaments that you are receiving old reminder messages for. We suspect there is some kind of delay or faulty trigger, not a security breach.

  We've confirmed that some emails are backed up and are slowly being sent out. We'll address the issue soon, and in the meantime you may still get a few.
