  Just asking members to review scores of a player who has been on WGT for just over a month and a half (joined 01/02/12) who basically only plays skins matches now.  Is he that good from the start, or is this a second account?  Just wondering what others think.

  The funny thing is that you are asking! 

  OF COURSE IT IS A SECOND ACCOUNT or 3rd or 4th

  Nobody does that well by never playing before!

  I always try to give players the benefit of the doubt, but this one was pretty obvious.  I just wanted to confirm my suspicions.

  Thanks for the reply Danny.....

  Obviously a second account, although I do find that some people who have played a lot of TWO can be pretty good at WGT pretty quick.

  It was amusing the other day when the player spotlight came up with 3 players, an amateur, a pro and a master all three of whom had averages under 60, maybe WGT should take a screen shot of their player spotlight once in a while.

  I have been ripped apart by several gods in this game, on a few of my posts this week, so why stop now. This is only my opinion, which I have basically been told I'm not entitled to, this is not an accusation. I feel that these amazing talents, right out of the chute, are no less than some of the top legends on this site. After reaching the pinnacle of their game, they are bored, and do this for fun more than anything. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the WGT folks knew who they are, and let it go so long until they boot them. When they are taking credits from the legit players, that is totally wrong. When they do it just to get people stirred up, no harm done. Seems to give everyone something to talk about. I don't mean to distinguish just the legends, I just can't imagine a Master trying to advance to a TM, or a TM trying to make legend wasting their time on this nonsense. This game just cannot be figured out that fast. To achieve those scores at the lower levels, it has to be a player who has been on here a long time, and knows the fairways and greens. As hundreds of players have all ready said on here, when you see these people, do not play them for credits. I saw one of these Pro's with an average lower than my 61.96 green last week. I invited to play a match for the fun of it. He declined, and told me he only plays for credits and won't play SA back nine. He had starter clubs and balls, and only plays for credits. Amazing talent indeed.

  I don't really care. A person can have 20 accounts, for reasons I don't understand. What I do understand is if they bump into me the better bring some game.
