  I am just wondering how in the heck can I get to -10 or heck better than the -3 that I have posted! I have a lot of awards and play about on average 4 hours a day! If you have any ideas on how I can lower my score! I would be grateful!

  Looking at your stats, it seems like your Greens in Regulation could use some work, only hitting about 56%. Not sure if this is poor iron play or what. Also, Save Save and Scrambling are your ability to save par after poor approaches or drives. These are 25-30%, so it sounds like you are hitting into trouble, likely on your approaches, and can't reliably save par. Your equipment looks decent, though I'd probably get rid of the hybrid for another wedge and save up credits for the L59 Ping G25 irons.

  Happy to answer specific questions you might have, as I'm sure will others on this board.

  The most telling stats are your GIR, Distance to Pin, and putting in general. 

  You have decent kit, but really don't need that hybrid. You'd be better served to have an extra wedge. 

  You're the only one who can answer what part of the game you struggle with on GIR. Possibly wind/elevation or combination. That stat of 17 feet from the pin when considering that many of those are chips/pitches is pretty bad. That's where that extra wedge is going to help. The flop shot is the most difficult shot to master IMO, but once you've got it down it really is a par saver. 

  There are plenty of helpful posts about pretty much every aspect of the game. Use search to find those.

  Good Luck. 

  It's mainly practice and experience.

  Yes, you have a 32 = -3 in your scores.

  The leader in your tier has posted a 29, pretty impressive for a TP but not a -10. The leaders in Legend an Champ tiers posted -10 = 25.

  You are a L51 Tour Pro. You'd have to follow the following guidelines:

  - practice,

  - level up to 90+, buy top equipment,

  - practice with top balls, map your clubs, learn about course management, learn the greens.

  Did I mention practice already?

  Most important: Have fun!!
