    I can't seem to get below a 67.04 as a Legend. I keep shooting in the 31-34 range on 9 holes.

    I just took my average of my last 10 rounds, the one's counted towards your average, not best of or tourneys, and I get a 32.9 ( X2) = 65.8

    Do I need to start playing full 18 holes to get a lower average, or what is the deal with WGT on figuring averages???  It seems like the only time I get below 67 is if I occasionally beat a Tour Legend, but then after a few games right back above again?~ Help! ~Perk

    It's bad on 500 not 10 bro

    no 9 holes is better and moves the avg faster

    beating a TL as a legend has nothing to do with it, it's all on your own score

    As a note ahead: Many "Best of" and Tourney rounds (9 or 18) count to the average if only the Par of the full courses is between 60 and 80 (excluding only Par3s and Par5).

    Q: Is your average saturated yet? If not, how many rounds did you play as a Legend (guess)?

    9 hole scores are doubled for average purpose, so 31=62, 32=64 and 33=66 should count in and reduce the ave. anyway. 34=68 might rise an unsaturated ave. or lower a saturated ave. but only very little.

    One stunning detail of these calculations is the "big number" of max. 500 scores in question. If there are 100 rounds, a change of one stroke only counts 1/100 = 0.01 which you will see. At 200, it results in 0.005 which may be invisible due to the rounding, and at 500 rounds, four times 0.002 may fly under the radar, unseen.
