Accused of cheating...what gives?

  Hi, I've been playing this game for years, with only one account. Just a little while ago I was accused of cheating by a Tour Legend I was playing against in a 3 hole stroke play game. He chatted: "Why are you cheating? Practice = cheating - stealing" and then proceeded to heckle repeatedly with variations on this theme.

  So my basic questions are: is playing a 3 hole stroke play game as practice before competing in a tourney considered cheating now by WGT officials? Or is there some other game etiquette I'm violating here without even knowing?

  The Tour Legend beat me handily, by the way.

  I've also been beaten routinely by MANY other players of varying tiers.

  Practice is practice.

  Your response should be, "LOL, Thanks!"

  Don't let the morons ruin your fun. Idiots like that are plenty unfortunately. I usually hit the "mute chat" button and then focus on kicking their behind.
