I saw this a lot when I played golf. I tried to bring up instances of cheating but the committee always erred on the side of caution and let these go. I know because I was on the committee, weak willed muppets I quit in the end because of this. The people in charge of these events need to take these people to task without worrying about upsetting someone's fragile ego. The cheats are a minority but they all appear to be surrounded by sycophantic supporters.
