  Not sure if this is a bug or a cheat, but I just left a round where a PRO player was using a Master driver (R9 8.5) at St. Andrews. He was teeing off from the Pro tees with a definate advantage. When I asked him about it he lol'd and typed that he didn't speak English.

  I think I saw a post some time ago on the forums which described a bug that allowed Pro players to see Master clubs in the proshop.

  Apart from that he might have been gifted such club, since until last update there was a bug I reported which allowed gifting higher tier equipment.

  I was curious and checked his profile. Looks like he was able to purchase it outright according to his log. Must have been at the right place at the right time.

  Even if it was a gift he wouldn't be able to use it in any kind of ranked round or tourney.

  That "I don't speak English" trick makes me wonder.

  By the way who won the round?

  Thanks for the report Norm.  Please email that player's name and the situation (including profile link if possible) to members@worldgolftour.com

  We'll have a look.
