  I am currently a Level 61 Master.  My average score is a 65.78.  I have no idea if that's "good", "bad", or "average".  I've played in quite a few Match play games and nobody ever said anything to me about my level/tier until yesterday.  They asked me "Level 61 Master?" to which I replied "yes".  I then asked if that was surprising/bad/good, etc....  they responde with "no comment". 

  Can anyone shed any light on this?  Kind of made me paranoid...

  don't be concerned with what others think .. your tier & level is pretty normal IMO .. there are those who take longer, but thats not your concern .. some people progress faster than others .. there's a lot of toxic personalities here who can give u a hard time over nuthin' .. so let them stew in their own venomous juice & move on ..

  your avg & stats are decent & right in the middle of your tier .. you'll need avg of 63 to go to Tour Master .. good luck

  If anything, I'd regard it as a compliment to be recognized as a level 61 Master!

  The average Master from the USA starting with "L" is more in his 70s or 80s of level. I myself maybe not typical but I advanced to Master at level 88.

  Have fun, hit it straight!

  I agree.

  On another note, when you are very close to TIERING UP (any tier), so when your Average is 63.1x

  The game seems to get a bit easier when your on the cusp, putts magically fall in etc

   Good time to have a shot at a couple of MASTER RG's  ;)

  We are.  But we'd be bored if we weren't always looking over our shoulders.  I would also say the opposite can be true.  When you break through that tier, things tighten up.  Shots that were hitting fairways miss, and putts that were magnetized to the hole suddenly miss by a country mile.

  Everything evens out, and it's likely in our heads.  However, when a baseball player goes on a hitting streak, even though he knows it won't matter, he does some seriously crazy things to keep the streak alive.
