  It seems the Irish and Canadians are about the only ones left you can really defile racially. Everyone else is so touchy.

  Lmao....yes us Irish are able to take it & give it when required (but in a nice way)

  The way that player has managed his score history must be one of the most obvious & calculated seen to date....

  the last time I hit a 42 was my first round when I turned Legend & I was mucking about practising on the greens etc....after a few pints & tired totaly forgot that I was in an RR & slotted the last putt to my horror.....my average shot from 60.9 to 84 in one clean swoop.....got it back down quickly though but still am struggling to compete in the Legend RG's....!!! 

  Thankfully I have never had to venture back there again in the 40s.....!!

  Well spoken nanstar. Sandbagging is bad enough and puts a bad taste in any player's mouth, but racism does not have any place in WGT, and should not be tolerated on any level by any player's or WGT staff members, period.

  I have to applaud WGTadmin for banishing any and all traces of racism by any player at WGT.com.

  DMM, I was compelled to look on your wall and voila...looks like you struck a nerve with the accused...lol.

  He posted on ur wall about 5 times in a couple days. I, of course, was then compelled  to look at "his" page and found an example of what you mentioned on your post.

  Here it is:

   03.16.12Tour Pro Best of Strokeplay Back 9 Ready-goBack 9Tour Pro...33

  03.13.12Chateau WhistlerFront 9Tour Pro...43

  03.12.12St Andrews Links: The Old CourseFront 9Tour Pro...44

  03.10.12Tour Pro Best of Strokeplay Back 9 Ready-goBack 9Tour Pro...33

   

  That says it all........and I didn't mention any names WGT ! 

  SM

  What does it say? Nothing but "You are badly informed, SM"!

  Your accusation is void!

  This player has 28 rounds better than 43 as a TP, thus a 43 or 44 would not affect his average nor slow his way to Master!

  Furtheron, the fact that he played these rounds in less than three weeks since he has become TP does not at all speak for sandbagging.

  I don't know what DMM had in his mind when starting this beating but it seems to have gone mad - quite a few users parrot senseless phrases here and on that player's wall - just disgusting cybermobbing!

  Alosso... do you see nothing highly suspicious about the pattern of his rounds?!  Always very high scores until he enters a tournament... then he always has very low scores.  Not a coincidence.

  Ironically, this entire "score" issue came to light after a member called him out for racially abusing him/her.  And that person was the rare person to defeat him in 9 hole match play.  I understand that person has supplied WGT with screen shots of the abusive and racial comments he made as they played their match.

  For the former he should have his tier level reset to Tour Master to reflect the 63ish average he has in every tournament he enters.

  For the latter he'll probably have his account deleted.  But to paraphrase a certain actor/governor, "He'll be back."

  he is just a POUNDER on the BOX!

  A Racist Sandbagger and most Likely a Multi-Accounter as well.

  He has managed to do all this since he "joined" WGT on 8 FEB this year?

  Thank you for a reasonable answer!

  Doublemochaman:

  No - I just see a TP with various results, and maybe he needs the kick of playing for money to play well.

  If you have a proof that he putts around on the 8th and 9th holes of his casual rounds you're welcome to present it here.

  I can't comment on any verbal abuse but this ain't the subject here. I'm pretty sure that WGT will act accordingly if they get proof of it.

  OTOH, you can hardly keep up your first statement

  Doublemochaman:

  Please look at the account of XXXXXXXXX.  This is a player who blatently cheats the system... shooting high scores for average and to maintain his/her Tour Pro status, but shooting low scores in tournaments to win credits.

  This is sandbagging at the most obvious and is totally objectionable.

  because his higher scores do not affect his average, and this will drop by about .5 per 33 score - he'll not be able to contend in many RGs as a TP.
