  Let me guess that it is 245 yds?

  Should be possible to play though there may be a few tracks where you don't arrive at the FW(?)

  My two Pfennig:

  Take up the challenge of playing a selection of full courses. It will be more fun than always Par3s and a good training to hone your skills of up-and-downs.

  Plus, Par3s don't contribute to your average. Thus you'd be stuck as a novice Master forever. Dare to post higher rounds - saturation will take care to lower the ave. after 40 rounds!

  Play weekly or monthly tournaments, they provide more XPs to level up for better clubs. L59 Pings (full set) may be worthwhile investment if the game becomes a tad less faulty.

  What alosso said.

  Although I'm a TL, I sometimes dig out the starter clubs and balls and play a few rounds for fun. A lot of the courses can be played to par or under even off the back tees - St A, Kiawah and Congressional to name just 3.

  Polish up your play and you'll soon get there.

  You only joined a couple of months ago, so it is a bit early to be wishing higher tiers on yourself. You have a decent set of clubs - you just have to learn to use them properly.

  I hope so Scott. Working your way up through the tiers is one of the best things about WGT, with a bit of luck this driver will help see Carlito further up the ladder, enjoying himself on the way.
