Making it sound like an after school special.  Nice. Not that I really care because I wasn't going to win anyway, but technically the 2nd post is a correction of the first post and not a "multiple entry".  Also, another person was allowed to edit his post...just saying.

Note: I'm not arguing or whining, just being slightly difficult, so please do not take any of this back and forth as a sign of disrespect.

Have a nice day.

Never seen so many low post count "members" - seems alot of guys joined the forum for a chance to win a driver.     Probably not a bad idea in hindsight ...

It's not a bad way to get new members...also, it could be one easy way around the "one entry" rule.  Not saying that is actually happening with any of these, but the possibility is there.  It does seem a little suspicious, but then again, I'm already DQ'd so what do I know.

One of the reasons we do things like this. We'll have some bigger ones here in the future, too. :)

FWIW, someone PMed me with similar thoughts and wondered if people were registering second or third accounts. The answer to that is that the rules state a member needs to be in good standing. Should someone with a low post count win, we'll do due diligence to make sure it's not a second account from someone, as that would be in violation of the rules of the site and would place such a member not in good standing.

See above. You posted while I was writing my response. It's not at all likely to happen, as creating a second account is grounds for immediate banning.

I immediately thought the same exact thing. I also thought someone could have made 90 something (or the size of the field) accounts just to have one guess for the entire field, lol! So if they only have the one post that's stating their guesses what happens?

    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
