  Hold on while I quit laughing at this ludicrous statement....ROFPMSL !!!

  You obviously had the putter scale on 100 foot of power. Were you on Merion front 9?

  I needed that laugh. Thanks.

  This game is a rip off and the people that run it are criminals in my opinion. 

  Yet you continue to play WGT.

  Based on your opinion, wouldn't that make you an accessory to the crimes and rip offs you claim are being committed?

  I agree.  I spent tons of man hours and dollars getting to the Tour Master level. While I was there I would post my share of good scores in the weekly, monthly and ready go tournaments.  For the ready gos I'd finished an occasional 2, 5th, 10th etc.  Never winning but also finishing with some bad scores.  I'd say the average finish was prob 20-25.  Needless to say I wasnt crushing it.  Then I post a 72 in the WGT Best of Par 5's Virtual Tour and then boom I'm a legend.  Now I  struggle to break par.  While I get the point of tier system I rarely play tournaments outside of my CC because I know I wont be able to compete.  Also, how much fun is to have to hit a driver ,3 wood and then wedge on some of the par 4s now.  Like I said I struggle to make par while others are  shooting in the 50's.  While I dont doubt that some of these scores are legit, I doubt all of them are.  The point of this post is not to complain but offer some advise to WGT.  When leveling up from Tour Master to Legend maybe consider using all of the scores and not just the average of the the best scores.  Just a thought, because I dont enjoy the game from the Legend Tier.  You could argue that I could practice and get better, but seriously, Im not going to make it to shooting 57's.

  I think everyone struggles for a while when they first reach Legend, you have only been there a week, stick with it, it will get easier.

  ive been there over a month and a half and still haven't dropped below an 80 avg. Now I agree that each Tier you have and adjustment period, but this game has so many bugs in it I have no idea what a shot is going to do anymore. One day a shot works the next day it's short the next time your out of bounds over the green . there is absolutely no consistency in the game.

  Because you're at that level where no better equipment is available to you, BG. Be patient...those scores will soon be knocking on your front door.

  Every new tier has it's learning curve, especially Legend tier.The slicker greens will take you some time getting used to. Work on your approach shots and the putting will fall into place.

  If you ever need any advice, my door is always open, sir.
