  Just so I understand your point of view, you want to discourage the free sharing of information

  I guess it's the lingering effects of the excesses of the Cultural Revolution

  Someone stays at a low tier they get called a sandbagger. Someone tiers up too quickly they get called a cheat. I don't see this guy as a problem.

  I have a friend on my friends list that joined only a couple of weeks before this guy and he's up to tour master already.

  I appreciate your point of view Daz, and I agree with you mostly.

  Anyone new to this game takes a little while to understand how to play whether through a tutor or game play or both.

  I bet your friend didnt post these kind of scores on his FIRST day tho....

  No he certainly didn't shoot anything like that. It does seem a bit fishy that this player went straight to the tournaments. Most people don't know where to find them when they start.

  People forget that practice rounds aren't posted tho and players can play as a guest for as long as they like before they actually start their account.

  What you can play as a guest ???? now ya bloody tell me. I still have trouble on the greens and with fringe putts . I play golf and on times hit my driver off the deck for distance, this game does not seem to allow me to do this. Stil I'm hooked so will be around for a while, just hate quitters like most do and I believe if ya gonna leave just put a chat message up thet your a woose.

   

  I play the best i can every round and always complete unless the putor or techs cut the game off.

   

  Always will be cheats in both this and the real game just suck it up and play.

  Fluck..cmon all.

  Based on score history, do you really think this was the first time through?

  "No rounds over par" (from status)

  Not sandbagger, just someone gaming the system.

  Wish'em luck and a bent putter!

  PS Dazza.

  My nephew played as a guest off my computer for a month (off and on) with me helping him before he created his own account, maybe I suck as a teacher, but with starter clubs he didn't break par at KI when he listed an account!

  I have a friend on my friends list that joined only a couple of weeks before this guy and he's up to tour master already. I know him personally, a work colleague and friend of mine. I've given him a few tips and he took to the game instantly. He asks lots of questions like what should he do in certain situations and i tell him. I never had this when i joined the game but if i did then i'd of probably tiered up quicker. The thing with the younger generation is they take to games quicker. They're what i'd call proper gamers who spend most of their time on a computer. 

  There's people here that cheat the system but they won't be around that long. They'll get bored and move on to something else. Everyone should concentrate on their own games and beat these people out on the course in the good old fashioned honest and fair way and they'll soon realize they won't achieve much.

  Just my 2 cents

  Dazza 

  I agree with you 100%!

  Just so I understand your point of view, you want to discourage the free sharing of information that may lead others to an obvious opinion of an individual's intent, and thus may save them money or credits by avoiding said individual?

   

  "you want to discourage the free sharing of information that may lead others to an obvious opinion of an individual's intent"

  I'm not against this at all, but you seem to be on a personal crusade to track, find and destroy all potential violators with no justification other than your opinion. Sometimes the obvious is not so obvious!

  Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

  Will someone please post the formula for tiering up?  I don't wanna be called out as neither a cheater nor sandbagger.
