    Pryke:
    I'm going to stick up for him (don't want to put names in my post).

    I figured this would devolve into speculation of the accused's status.  As I tried to explain and as the accused explained to the OP, what he did was legit and well within WGT's rules.

    I find it interesting that the OP is a Tour Pro, has been playing for over 1.5 years, and has an 1,019 - 176 record in match play - not that there is anything wrong with that.  All I can say is anyone who plays him for credits is a fool.

    Whether or not the accused or the OP is doing something untoward is really none of my concern, I gave up caring a while ago.  As we all know it appears WGT sanctions multi-accounts & sandbagging or is powerless to stop them and is one of the reasons I rarely play anymore.  I do, however, continue to read the forums for the entertainment value  :-)

    Its an incredible record and he has amazing stats.  I wish I had his iron and short game touch.

    Approach   Ducati916
    Green in Regulation %

    92.40

    Sand Save % 87.50%
    Scrambling % 73.08%

    Its all good. most likely would get my tail kicked  and increase his record to 1020- 176 but would be cool to play a  fun match with OP . If could overcome the yardage advantage and win against a player of his caliber, it would be a thrilling victory, if lost, I'd say congrats to him no worries. 

      No doubt i'd be envious of his driver/wedge approaches. Those days were fun and I can certainly understand the appeal and why he hasn't been in a hurry to move back in tees. Thank you to WGT for offering us the cadillac tourney at Kaiwah, sowe can relive those tees.  Its quite a difference how kaiwah plays from the pro tees versus the legend tees.

    lol...never meant to open the dungeon door for all the speculations and such...I just asked how it was possible...Seems that the question was answered.  It's all within the rules, and that's fine with me....as far as mine, and anyone else's history, scores,  tiers, levels, game preferences, etc....I'll go back to what I've said in several other posts....Play who you want, and how you want.  I rarely ever play MPC, and even in a MP, or alt shot...I always...always.... offer to drop the first time anyone seems offended or concerned .....I play mostly alt shot since it was introduced...because I enjoy it....and it most certainly should count towards tier experience....just as match play should. 

    So, all that being siad...I'll play with anyone, or against anyone..from any tees...with any clubs...in any format.......win or lose...I just enjoy the game.

    And to the player above.....sounds like fun...look me up and we'll play a round..alt. shot...mp...whatever.....

    Seems like a great attitude Ducati and how I'd be also.  If playing someone and they seem offended by your tees, offering to drop and ending on a friendly note is a great way to handle it. 

    I've said before, personally it doesn't matter what tiers an opponent is on. If  hit a good shot, can stick a 190 club within a few feet of what could my 135 club. If hit a bad shot, its going to be a poor result no matter what the club.  The biggest advantages another tier would have is on the driveable par 4's, but they still have to make that eagle putt which is easier said than done. I believe getting the tricky legend green speeds all the time is an advantage for me. 

    Look forward to challenge of  playing with against you  Ducati. If cool with we can do a best of 3 matches, for a sleeve of balls or just for fun. You pick first 9 holes, anywhere is fine even Kaiwah back which I think has the biggest disparity of all in yardage.  My fav course is Bethpage, so lets play 1 round there also.   You might beat me 5 and 4 and while I'll be doing my best to keep that from happening, if you do, it will still be a fun challenge.

    Same here.   

     

    Just ask the last few I have basically given credits away to in MPC.  :-)

    And RG's I only started playing when I made Legend,  knowing I would probably never win but found myself wanting to move up in total earnings when I sort my cc's member list by that.  Yes I had to lose some credits just to win some,  but hey, I am close to 2nd in total earnings in my cc. lol.

    Keep it fun..
