So you play along, plod along and reach
Champion/TL tier...you keep playing and complaining about the game as you
occasionally break 60/30.
Then one day you wake up, and Son of a
Gun...."Eureka"..."Watson".....you can all of a sudden
shoot mid 50's!....man, after all these years, that was all that needed to be
done?

But it does seem to fit the person I was
thinking about, who is not listed as being in Canada (and again, the putting is
1.55 for the player I'm looking at). While maybe the person is legit, it seems
really odd to me that someone shoots in the low to mid 60s as a Tour Master and
then tiers up to Legend and immediately starts shooting in the mid 50s.
The bottom line is that this is like an ACT question: which item doesn't
belong: 55, 55, 55, 56, and 1.55 putts/hole.
Yes, it's possible that someone could get that good overnight. No, it's not
likely that someone does it without externalities at work (IMO). Or to put it
more bluntly: how many scores of 55 have you had in the last 3 weeks?
If we assume the timeframe was truly
immediate / overnight-ish then sure I agree that could be considered suspect. I’ve found out the hard way that becoming
consistent in this game to where one can shoot mid 50s all the time is very
hard – extremely hard actually and I commend those that have done it legitimately.
0 rounds for me mid 50s in the past 3
weeks. L Although I fear the backlash should I become
seasoned enough to start posting those rounds.
;)
I still take issue with looking at a leader
board and just making the assumption that people who aren’t normally there
cheat. But that’s ok, everyone can think
what they want let’s leave it at that.
