  This has to do with increasing levels. In order for me to get a bigger driver I have to get to at least level 94. The way the point structure is set up, this will probably take me more than a year playing daily as the limit on daily play is 880 points. Each level increases the number of points needed to level up. The 282 driver I have is fair at legend tier, but I should be able to get a longer one as I would in real golf. I think I am well qualified to have a longer driver. Lever 91 to level 92 is 664,469 points. My current points are 648,877 which is at least 2 weeks before I make level 92.

  Personally I'd upgrade the wedges. The SLDR is a good club and got me to Tour Legend.

  Not hardly sunshine, and I don't get how WGT is unfair to any player when it comes to giving 880 XP a day as a reward for consecutive days played.

  880 points is the max Consecutive Days played award, but you can play 18 holes of a monthly tournament and get 440 more XP plus your strokes and any awards you get during that round.

  So if you play another consecutive day, play an 18 hole tournament, and shoot 63 you get 1383 XP (880 + 440 + 63). If you play another 18 hole tournament and shoot 63 again you get an additional 503 XP for a total of 1886 XP.

  It took me 2 days short of 1 year to go from level 91 to level 95. I made a blog post about it on my profile page. On Feb 22, 2014 in another blog post i stated I needed 127,087 more XP to reach level 95 and it took the 90 days I predicted it would take to amass the 127,000 XP, and average of 1412 XP per day.

  My point exactly. It shouldn't take a year to go 4 levels. Players who are in the 90+ levels are the ones who play on here regularly  so why be penalized for regular play?  That is like the IRS who penalizes people for making too much money.
