  Hey folks...and before I continue, allow me to say I'm not a complete and total lush!

  Anyway, sometimes later in the evening after the Mrs. and I have enjoyed a cocktail or two I remember I forgot to play my obligatory round of golf for the daily exp.  So I scramble into my office fire up the computer and play horribly because my advancing age has made me a total light weight.  So, since I'm honestly trying to play well and not look like a sandbagger, I was curious as to what settings to use for a practice round vs. tier.  I'm also curious, because I'm fairly sure I'm going to be advancing to the next tier soon and before my mouse develops the ability to fly from my office I would like to see what I'm in for :-)

  Thanks!

  Do you know that you only have to play a single hole to get your daily XP? If you didn't just click on the WGT Community tab at the top of this page and then select Golf Courses, then a course and hole of your choice

  Stay calm:

  No practice round whatsoever will ever count against your average and tier - it's only practice.

  Kind of what I'm getting it is the general settings for each tier.  Like, pin location set to hard for pro and above, wind moderate for pro, etc...   I've got which tees to use during a practice round down, was just wondering the rest of the settings so I can see what I'm in store for before advancing.

  Set tees for next longer tee than your present tee box; set green speed to next higher speed than what you see in ranked round. 

  That technique won't work (at present) once you get to Legend, lol, as Champ tees not avail in practice round. You only experience when playing a TL.

  He's at Pro Tier so the next advancement won't be moving the tees back at Tour Pro anyway. The next faster green speed idea is the one to work on most. Pin positions change around regardless of Tier.

  As far as practice my advice would be, try everything that can be set and changed in practice mode.
