  I think as a Tour Pro I shouldn't have to hit from the black tees in a tournament. On 6 of the holes I didn't even get to the fairway on my drive. How is this fair? I cant compete if my competitors clubs go 50 yrds further.  Also if WGT is going to list the conditions as very fast greens at least they can have very fast greens and not Tournament greens. How are we to practice for these money events if the conditions are not what is listed?.

   

  Sorry, Had to vent.

  Which tournaments are you referring to in particular?  It would help people to better understand your complaint.  I can recall playing in a few tournaments like that as a TP where I couldn't reach the fairway on one hole (the Bobby Jones hole).   And they had Championship green speeds.

  My best advice is to keep playing, and earn credits somehow, so you can level up to get better equipment.  The complete set of Ping G25's at lvl 59 are what I bought when I first became eligible.  That driver made a hugh difference in tee shot difference.  And the irons have high trajectory, which makes for softer landings.  Post a little more info please, if you want more and better answers.  GL.
