    Were I to meet this guy I'd urge him to apply his mind to something a bit more rewarding, like a bank job,  a jewellery heist, a Ponzi scheme etc. In fact Munch's The Scream painting is due to be auctioned, if he needs a driver I'm his man.

    The amount of players i see lately winning tournaments and not been a member for more than a week is shocking.

    Multy accounts are taking over WGT.  It was only the other day i came 2nd in a tournament at R.S.G High winds to a guy who was a member a week, master allready and scored a 60 .

    Take Sams excellent score of 52 at St Andrews, this would probably be impossible from black tees (bet i speak to soon.lol), same as winter tour qualifiers, we can all score much better from master tees, so a great number of dishonest legends & masters  have re started and with their 1 or 2 years knowledge of the game combining that with hack/pro tee's should begin to clear up certain tournaments and stop honest players winning.  And a lot of these players have realised shooting low scores immediately will raise an alarm, so they now play a few rounds over par, then begin to shoot low.  Go back to your early days, do you think you could score a 60 in high winds at R.S.G if you only played the course once before?  There's so much to learn in those first few days, putting speed of greens, wind, roll on greens the list goes on, do you honestly believe if you had just joined the game fresh, you could score 60 in high winds??  For f'k sakes, i struggle to score better than 61 now, and i've been a member for  years. My first few rounds i was 3 putting every where, couldn't judge breaks, or slopes & green speed to power on meter.

    The only way to combat this is either revert back to the old system so clubs would be unlocked per tier, INSTANT DISMISSAL OF THE POINT OF MULTI_ACCOUNT'S. Another way is for WGT to have a database of all IP addresses and if another account is started with IP address that is all ready in use, new account opening FAILS.  (but dont know if this is possible?)

    And as for bollox using some sort of device, HE IS THE DEVICE! WGT machine

    I have no idea how well policed WGT is but I am inclined to agree with my Welsh friend above, it must stop soon. Perhaps WGT needs to open up a "compliance" department and employ someone full time in the investigation of fraudulent behaviour. As much as this is a game, it's also a gambling site ( you bet your money against others and gamble that you don't get freakin' headwinds on every hole) and any of the things we see or hear about should be regarded as criminal offences and the perpetrators made public examples of in order to deter others

    So you create a CC, you are the owner and let only your other accounts... Create a tournament. Only you enter and pay the entry fee, pay 1.50 and get  ten times to 30 times the initial fee... smart move... and WGT doesn't see it!!!

    Look here... and here.. and Here... and HERE

    Shanks, lll we... and qqq.. an alphabet is all you need...

    Yeah, if this guy continues at the present rate, in a year he'll have a set of (real) clubs, or at least a good Amazon card... :/

    I informed the admins regarding this case, you guys could inform regarding other similar cheaters.

    Regarding IP control: the problem is that sometimes a few people from the same household (and thus IP) are playing, but I guess it's easy to establish a filter that once there are more than 3-4 instances from the same IP, it would force a manual check of what's going on.

    The problem is that hackers are able to overcome this problem by using proxies, but again - it should be easy to make a simple heuristic or machine learning-based algorithm to detect similar cheats (e.g. when the same person always wins in the same CC tournies and other players are generally passive)

    Dizzyduck, unless you can prove something, accusing a person of being a cheat is about as low as you can go. At what score do you feel someone is a cheat?? It looks like you are having a rough time figuring out this game yourself and perhaps your mental ability prevents you from comprehending that this game can be mastered. Please feel free to send me the average that I can shoot for but not lower than so I too am not considered a cheat. To be honest, if I had to bet, your frustration is so great, instead of accepting the fact that you are having a rough time getting over the hump, it is easier to except others are cheating. But even if this is your opinion, calling a person a cheat should be done in person and not behind a computer. Please give me a link for a cheat program that will support your accusations. Did it occur to you that if this program existed you would be calling many more people cheats?? Hell, even you would break the 60's.
