A question I have not seen addressed. What is Hippys status going forward? Even Habs is still permitted to play even though he’s not allowed on the forums. I’m not sure what his action plan would be to be permitted back but I don’t think Hippy did anything worse. Then we have Jeff Day who was banned (but never explained) who is back on the tour this season. Seems a little harsh to have permanently kicked him over some vulgar attacks. I agree it doesn’t belong here but I’m hopeful there’s an option to be reinstated if Hippy follows some plan by the admins. Edit - grammar He's said worse before including against the admins, and moreover has spewed this same kind of hateful vitriol against individuals many, many times before, so I'm guessing this was just the final straw for the admins. I doubt he'll have been perma-banned but I think a forum ban for the rest of the season would be fair at the very least. His posts are entertaining but in a car crash kind of way, it's surely not something we actually want to see in this community. I'm on several online forums and TGCT is definitely one of the most lenient - someone who posts as aggressively as hippy wouldn't last a dozen posts on most forums outside of the chans these days. Regarding playing, I agree a perma-ban would be harsh, but he's said many times that he's planning on quitting since he's the only one with morals, so maybe this is best for whatever remains of his sanity. He's very obviously mentally unhinged with a propensity to lash out, so for his real world surroundings, friends, family etc. it's probably also for the best he finds a more relaxing hobby. Maybe we could crowd-fund a Bob Ross Joy of Painting course for him? I also have to say it's weird that nobody ever mentions the fact that hippy got pulled by the API himself this season, when they'd make snide comments about almost every other player who's been pulled, and even those who haven't e.g. Crawesy. Kinda like people avoiding the topic of Daenerys burning prisoners of war alive, somehow she gets a free pass on that because of her status. I think giving the benefit of the doubt to an API fail is absolutely the right thing to do, but let's be honest, it puts a sad question mark on every result that particular player gets in future. And it certainly doesn't help give you any credibility when you claim you're the only player with morals in the entire tour...

He’s been perma banned. Heard it from an admin, so unless something changes he’s GONSKI...

No way Jeff Day should have these trophy cards on his page. He did it illegally and the admins know it.

I'm not here to litigate what's right or wrong - only that the TGCTours staff is at least consistent with punishment... otherwise I think you almost prove Hippy's point, no?

Nice to see my name on the home page leaderboard for once! For two and a bit rounds I was on it. Then had a bizarre hole (which I might upload later). Lost my composure and shot a 7 on a par 4. From then on I knew it was over and ended up -41. Really didn’t see what all the fuss was about from that hippystein.

Hippy has asked me to post this message for him as he is unable to do so:
"First of all id like to say that those who judge me and say im unhinged and abusive in my personal life and they have never even spoken to me or had any meaningful coversation with. You have no idea im the most chilled out bloke you will ever meet and i help loads of others out outside of gaming and with different aspects of the game from all over the world if i can. I agree in hindsight the way i went about my rant was vulgar in part and out of order. Having not previously being banned from forums for my outbursts before(well maybe once,i cant remember!) I thought at most id get banned from the forums. Not playing. Ok i got flagged in the shriners but that was not straight shooting it was because my dispersion was too good. What has upset me more is the fact that no option was given as stated by others. Others have done far worse and been caught doing morally worse things but yet are free to stay on tour. An email would of been nice or some sort of conversation with the powers that be. No warning, no forum ban ,just blocked ip on my accounts at home. Ive spent 2 years practicing on this game to compete at a level and i will keep playing the game be it on tour or not. If ive offended anyone personally i apologise. Ive asked mitch to post this as i have no other way to air my voice. What will be will be!"

The f uck club. Wat a shower of complete wank. The course is laid out well but yet again another designer that sets his greens to a number where nothing putts true at all. Finished my rounds and played it on fast 163s and course plays amazing. 152. Designers do this so there course plays fubar'd and doesnt get ripped a new arsehole. Alot of the holes are easily accesible if you hit right line off the tee but greens are a mess. I had so many putts die on me or on the straightish ones go the opposite way 2 clicks and miss high. -50 even tho the greens are a mess the shortswingers will stiff it on every hole or the mapping bastards who practice the events on other systems with different names then play there rounds at the last minute will get past 50. Have fun. Seriously close to calling it neck on this tour as its @!$#ed. @!$#ed up courses and @!$#ed up morals. Ppl playing with rigged sh%$ to short swing and mappers who they wont police Its worse than the hori and mapping days on tiger oh my god. Have fun on the F uck clubs greens. Sorry justin but you know you put them greens at 152 to play wan k ✊💦💦 I completely agree. This course is laid out well as hippy said but the greens are an absolute joke. And whoever chose this for the ZÜRICH CLASSIC wants to visit specsavers. Its more like a U.S Open. I was having putts of 60+ ft and 4+ft uphill, taking the putter all the way back and the ball never got halfway and rolled past me off the green. F***ing ridiculous.

"You have no idea im the most chilled out bloke you will ever meet and i help loads of others out outside of gaming and with different aspects of the game from all over the world if i can". Interesting, so he's Mother Theresa reincarnated outside of the forums where we can't see him, but becomes seemingly possessed by Satan when he's on the forums. And he helps loads of people with the game even though there's no evidence of any videos, guides or tips online of any such help from him. All that we see is a huge audit trail of his TGCT posts going back nearly 2 years containing angry swearing insults and abuse at anybody and everybody, not just other players but designers, admins and volunteers who organise this free video game tour. But in actual fact he's the most chilled out guy anybody could hope to meet, in addition to being the most moral player on a tour filled with dirty cheating scumbags. And the time he got caught by the API this season doesn't count, he wasn't hitting it straight, he was just too tight in his dispersion that's all. I'll just leave this here:

I'll just leave this here: One sentence of reflection and one half-apology (IF you are soft and he offended you)...mixed with 10 sentences of moaning. Even through surrogate, hippy gonna hippy.
