  Your doing alright. Look at some of these guys stats and see how many ranked rounds they have played. Takes awhile to get good. Keep banging away.

  Yes, it takes a while to be good. Do you know, when a player turns to tour master and legend? Where are the limits for upgrading?

  Practice, practice, practice; learn where to attack and when to play sensible and safe just as in the real game John.

  We've all been in that position of seeing those scores and wondering how they are ever possible but with time and effort, most people are able to score low (perhaps not consistently as that's what differentiates the good from the great).

  Some of the comments include the gem that says you need to be patient and it will come to you.  Well I am patient and it might come to me but I will not pay credits to WGT so they can give it to someone who is way out of my class.  Where are the tier tournaments so at least we are playing guys that are ranked the same.  I know there are several tourneys going on that do just that but they still insist on sticking up these one size fits all deals and it just don't fly anymore. The practice of playing all ranks for the same prize are long gone as far as I am concerned.
