  RUNWME:

  One example of earnings, I just shot a 63 in best of 2k readygo a few mins ago ( will be posted when 6 more players enter). Cost me 2000 credits to enter, and should win back 800 cr for net 1200 loss yet it still moves me higher in earning credits leaderboard. Those leaderboards are cool to show how much you've won, but the numbers would be substantially lower if it took into account your losses as well.

   

  Edit.....

  was going to get involved.......can't be bothered now....

  So - back on page 1 my original post was about the deviation of the wind - I don't think if I had the winds described back there at Kiawah I could have shot 28's in succession like your scores around the 11th,I had 20+ tailwinds on the long 3's with champ greens, 20+ headwinds on the long 5's no eagle chance,20, +tailwind on 4 and not great directions on other holes

  Not missing the ding, or missing when I wanted too in a round to get those great scores with the occasional jumpy meter, isn't something I can do consistently either, I guess you've mastered that too

  I know what you're saying about b/s or rolling up but some holes you can't get close too consistently if the winds are wrong - or maybe you can -  it looks like you've found a way to beat the game  -  you've become the phil taylor of golf, the rest of us just need to wait for you to retire now

   Agree with you 100% about the high winds.  When you get a bad windset, there is nothing you can do but do your best.  I've shot a 28 in kaiwah heavy winds when they were good and helping, when putts were rolling in and a 36 when a tough windset.  Thats just the nature of high wind readygos.   I enjoy high winds readygos, with good winds you can score better than with low winds as some par 5's get real short and par 4's are driver / wedge to the pin. when you get a bad wind you may have a 7-8 stroke worse performance.

  Below is all my high winds at kaiwah and rsg play readygo play . 2 course I enjoy specifically because of the high wind challenge. You rarely see me playing the same tracks in the low wind readygos. From best score score to worst was a 8 shot difference on 9 hole kaiwah and 11 shot difference on 18 hole rsg

  In this round at rsg 1000, http://wgt.com/tournaments/leaderboard.aspx?id=7168912b-86e2-499d-9d7d-9f8f016ecc6f Bollox shot a 53 and I shot a 63. I played one of my best rounds to get that 63 as Ihad a bad windset.   One hole in partcular, I hit driver, 3w, and was left an 89 yrd approach into 30mph wind on a par 4.   Just nothing you can do about that.  The round that I shot a 54, it was a dream windset and the winds helped me  on just about every hole.

  jordanisawesome:

  Alright, i did play a few rounds with RUNWME, and he is a very kind, and fun person to play with. For one i have 100% beliefe that this is his only account, he has bad rounds. The rounds we played i think we were both shooting -4's? If he made a mistake he would correct it with sinking the putt. He may have good scores, hell i just shot my first 27 last round, everything went my way, i dont get that very often. Now me if i make a mistake i end up missing the putt by a ft or 2, thats why i dont shoot scores like him. If i could recover like he does, damn id be shooting 28's and 57's all the time. I was the same as him. when i was a tourmaster, i would restart the game if i wasnt having a good game, this was so i could progress to legend, as i wanted the challenge. Now TBE i have played 1 game with you, and you are a good player, you just may not have progressed through the tiers like RUNWME did. Deal with it and leave the guy alone. OH WAIT! I just checked your profile, and their are consecutive uner 30 scores! whats going on with that???

  I think  what was confusing was tbe only posted my best rounds when it suited his argument  which it painted a picture that I never miss. I wish that was the case, but it's not.  If I posted a thread with only tbe's best scores and accomplishments ( we have the same best round score of 26)  people who didnt know him would think he was up to no good.  I dont mind the microscope, I suppose its flattering a bit having a good enough month to be under it, but when you you paint a picture of someone, to be fair with them and for credibility of argument, paint the entire picture.

  Very informative your wife is.  Good thing your a good student and listener.  I just read all these posts.  Shame on me.  U've proven yourself worthy of legend tier & u did it within the rights of this GAME, and it upset many other's because your wife isn't their wife, lol, well played, continue to blow the doors down.  I've been master level now for 4 months or longer, struggling, but it's still fun for me, cause I can't putt well enough to make tour master.  WE ARE THE WORLD,  Famous song.  Maybe some time we can youtube that song title and listen to it.  I get lucky every now & then.  Made my 1st double eagle, saved replay.  Check it out. Many of WGT player's are lucky sometime other's are lucky all the time, it's a blessing to have the best of both worlds all the time.  Love & Peace folks.  Life is way to short to actually care this much about a virtual game.  GOOD GAMING!  I

   

   Great replay and thankyou for the positive comments.  I received a very sweet email that made me smile this sunday morning.

  Hi Don

  I sure hope that Bad words spoken do not effect your Play and Self in a whole. I think what you doing for the game and for fellow players is awesome. You deserve the Status and '' Fame'' from your play and only wish some players here have the insight to know that spouses do play together.

  Please send Dianne my love and regards and hope the Stalking thing has come to an end and she can actively come back and play. Keep up the good work and Help you offering all the players we need more of you ............. well not you per say  ha ha ha id have no chance in RG's   .... but people with your heart. I have sent Dianne a message on Skype but do pass my regards back to her

  Take care

  
  I do actively seek to help others without a need for comment or thanks, but notes like these really brighten the day.  Wgt is a great hobby/game, and will continue to make friendships and enjoy the game. This month I'm on top of leaderboard and an easy target to throw stones at. Next month, I will be old news and we move on continuing to play ( lol but wont be grinding out so many dang readygos)  Will continue hosting tourneys to increase others enjoyment in the game and helping others where I can.

  If Runwe was that much of a "cheat" or whatever (not saying he is), wouldn't he stayed from master tee's to clear up even more tournaments?

  I think  what was confusing

  I think what is confusing is that you write in every way like Dianne81 and one could be mistaken for wondering who indeed  constructed your posts.

  Now Dianne81 (who I played with a few times & found her very pleasant indeed) rarely plays....whereas you (her husband) appears like David Copperfield and starts cleaning up in tournaments.....well in this past month anyway, which some folks will find even more suspicious as it's around that same timescale as Dianne81 scaled down her playing.

  Can you blame anyone for being just a tad suspicious of it all?

  Either way I'll let go if you let it go....else I'll just keep responding.

  Agreed?

  Seven months and $500 as Tour Pro -- then 3 weeks to Legend. He WAS staying around, cleaning up. Maybe it's a strategy and is within the rules, but I say it violates the spirit of the rules and is a clear case of sandbagging -- but I accept his explanation.

  I know its a recurring thread, but I don't think its going to go away, you've brought in big money RG's now make it the same even playing field for all entrants

  Totally agree there. Same even playing feel sounds right.

  The way it is just now...if I entered I would not be risking $20 against playing against other decent players.....all I'd be doing was gambling $20 against whether I'd get decent heavy winds & shoot a sub 60 or trecherous heavy winds & be lucky to shoot a 65.
