Interesting conversation ... I agree with Mr. Mendoza ... i enjoy the game too much to let this psuedo-legend status I had thrust on me one day hamper my enthusiasm.
That said ... i did notice my playing habits have changed quite a bit lately.
1) There are very few legends out there (I was told less than 2% of the playing population) and 99% of them kick my butt .. so I avoid them in matches where I can.
2) As lower tiers "level up" and have access to the same equipment even pick up games and MPC's are not a fair contest to a player of my limited ability. (and no the Legend Balls don't make up the difference in yardage).
I can see that I've gone from playing 10 to 12 games / day ..... to 1 or 2 games / day to get my experience points, usually the free tournaments, the WGA. I rarely play RG's any longer .... and perhaps I'll do 1 or 2 MPC's a day ... It's just no fun hitting a 4 irons into greens hoping it stays on while your opponent is lobbing an 8 iron and stopping it on a dime.
If it weren't for the friends and camaraderie I have chatting with my CC members on the MIRC channel every evening ... and the great social networking. I would not be here much at all.
Note: Before someone says ... Come on now .. you have $1,335 in earnings ... don't forget .. that is NET earnings ... I did that playing in 1,200 RG's.
