Really?

Stableford, Aroha (not that easy) , Tour Pro, Score 28pts.

Sorry, but I just don't buy that. Even if you managed to hit a perfect tee shot every hole there is no way you can single putt seventeen out of eighteen greens on this Course.

Let's see a recorded round.

And no, it's not sour grapes. I know what my ability is and I know why that is. It just peeves me off when I see the same Player(s) at the top every week. If this score is legitimate, I'd like to be proven wrong, can we give these golf gods their own Stableford League to compete in. Can we have a Stableford where we only play our own level or has that been tried already?

Don't get me wrong Mark, I enjoy greatly, even moreso when I'm hitting them straight, my PGLS participation. It can get a bit disheartening though ...

Just one of those rounds, you get some good fortune with the bounces on and around the green at Aroha, to go with putting the ball in roughly the right spot and that score can happen. Some greens really feed you to the hole.

I have no reason to doubt it is legit, Domino (in this instant) is a very good player who has hit a hot round. As for the Stableford League...maybe, looking into whether something is feasible.

Keep playing, you'll improve as you get used to the physics of the game. If the top isn't attainable yet, concentrate on those players around you in the World Rankings and Power Rankings, try to beat those then move onto the next group of players.

i had the same complaint some months back on another stableford and felt like a fool
when i complained about the same player having a 28 in another round, till i went and played it and shot a 27.
all in the way a persons luck is running also.

Well here we are yet again :dry:

Give me concrete evidence they are cheating and they will be dealt with.

Until then let's just play the game for what it is, warts and all!
