My first time.... with a cheater

[soup]

Sometimes people need to be told what proper behavior is.

I'm generally not one to tell people how to live their life.

Soup...I'm calling BS on all your BS. What ....you think your in the mafia or something. Your a tough guy because you keep your mouth shut. You are clueless.

it's comparing apples to apples. My example is EXACTLY what you said, but in a different scenario.

Yet, you called this guy a "rat" for reporting a cheater that could possibly walk away with prizes and such that came from tournament entry fees. Classy.

You sound like a real responsible parent.

How is only confronting the cheater keeping my mouth shut? Actually, it's priceless to see the look on someone's face when you do it one-on-one and then watching them at cocktail hour, dinner and award ceremony sweating it out wondering how many people know.

Good point. He can call a guy a rat, but won't report a cheater. He's full of BS!

Are you saying laws and conventional society have no meaning, that every one should do whatever makes them happy. What if I found 13 year old girls attractive should I act on that. Everyone is citing extreme examples to show you how ridiculous your position is.

Your a tough guy that would confront him then say F everybody else in the event because you have morals and would never rat on anyone. LOL What a joke you are.

I'm not reporting anyone. Sorry, but when it is someone's word against someone else's word - I'm not getting others involved. I won't want the possibility of being labeled a crybaby. Now, if I had actual video of someone using a hand wedge or a foot wedge, it might make for a nice wrap up video at the end of the day. I'll just do it to their face, one-on-one, and leave it at that.

My father and I were playing in a best ball and we hit our tee shots within two feet of each other, in pretty heavy rough. Apparently we did not throughly check our balls and we played each others. We called it and lost the hole as the rules say. We ended up going 21 holes that day because of that (and won). I would expect everyone would be honest but the fact of the matter is that people are not. If I am paying a couple hundred bucks for a tournament I would call out a blatant cheater, like what is being described above.

Well, here in Texas, we dont need video. Someones word is as good as it gets.

I get it......your not man enough to take a stand because your worried about being called a crybaby. Boo hoo for you Soup. Real men take a stand and stick to it, we all understand you now Soup.

[Shindig]

Spoken like a wet fish.

I'd like to suggest you learn manners. And multi-quote.

Only when that person is a cheater. You have no problem telling someone not to right a wrong, or that they should do it your way.

Exactly, which is why someone that cheats and stands by their score would be taken every bit as true as someone who calls them on it.

Telling someone face-to-face, one-on-one is not being man enough?

No it's not.

I agree with this. If it's two-on-two and it's addressed on the course between those involved - that's the way it should be. I'm not going to run into the pro shop or restaurant and start blabbing about it. I would not honor the bet and I would not play with them again. EDIT: I read this that you guys were playing a match for a couple of hundred bucks. If it was an outing/tourney, I'd still tell them to their face and leave it at that.
