  To advance in Tier, you must play full 9 or 18 hole ranked games. As your average improves and you play more games, your tier will change accordingly

  Welcome sfldbt!
  
  A good explanation of tiers can be found here:   http://www.wgt.com/forums/t/108931.aspx
  
  You should also understand "levels" because the higher your "level", the better the equipment that you are allowed to buy at the Pro Shop.  See the last post on this page:
  http://www.wgt.com/forums/p/48159/846092.aspx#846092
  
  You will need "credits" to buy better equipment and you can either buy them or take surveys and do other 'activities' to get them free.
  
  Trust me  -  FREE is the way to go and you should start gathering credits  now, because you will want better gear pretty soon!

  Enjoy this, it is both challenging and fun.

  Ranked score rounds it is, not on practice.

  Look at your STATS on your profile wall.

  So far you have played 4 ranked games.  = not enough!

  You need to play plenty more stroke games - ranked - not practice.

   

  Also, check your bag you are missing some clubs. your Lob wedge and your 3 wood.

  Check in with your Country Club owner - I am sure he will help you with moving up to Amateur and fixing your equipment.

   

  Your driving accuracy is excellent, but your GIR (Greens in Regulation) is poor. With another wedge and a 3 wood, this will also help you.

   

  Good luck!

  I became amature in one day, just played a lot of stroke play games and challeges by courses and other people. play the closest to hole games to get your short game down. and I have a country club you are able to join. send me a request to Portland Players Club
