  Hiya Folks my name is TiGator and surely enjoying most of what this game has to offer but surely would like to know how in the world I had a 72.3 avg. go to an avg. of 86 after one round of 9 holes at St. Andrews on tourney greens?  

  Is this a normality type of situation here or what? 

   

  Thanks in advance and Good luck on the turf!!!

  That was your first round as a Pro - congrats to your promotion!

  The average is reset then, and the new conditions - longer tracks + faster greens - must have hit you unforeseen. Now you're doing much better!

  BTW: Discard that crappy EZ-Swing 3WD, get yourself an R11!

  We don't have a handicap. We have a stroke average. They are very different.

  With a handicap system, players adjust their score after a round based on their handicap.

  Most players subtract their handicap from their gross score. A 'scratch' player (handicap of zero) does not adjust their score.

  Most pro players would have + handicaps and have to add strokes to their gross score,

  WGT is set up so less accomplished players play a shorter golf course (hit from tees closer to the hole) than more accomplished players play.
