    What is the general rule as a hack, (currently), joining random games?  Do we get paired with folks in our level and rating?

    Kinny, you should look into joining a Country Club and friend invite some members to play with. CC will have Tier ranked tournaments to enter as well.

    hi

    if you are able to join a game (some game masters may limit tiers) then anything goes. ort you could also create a round and invite friends or open it for anyone.

    If you just use a random search to get a ranked round on a 9 or 18, you get the first available game, rare you get it with a hack, most higher tier. My advice, no matter who you meet struggle it to the very end, no matter if its a legend you are with, you get the nexthardest greens you can get in an ordinaire stroke, but i can trust you, the experience you get by play it, is more worth than 3 hours practice alone, just watching a legends way to handle his tee and putts, then you have alot to learn and practice! I am 1 of the bloody legends who dont care go a round with a hack, but they run away on first green, so never see the end of it!

    I agree with all the advice, I too will happily play with new players and give them hints and tips where i can. Lots of players will leave when they see hack but provided you are willing to learn its a good avenue.

    As for joining a game i would say choose tier specific if it an alternate or stroke game but my recollection they seldom finish. Blitz can be a good way to meet people and still get tips from all levels. But make friends and play with them and a CC is always a good place to meet people.
