Griz is right-you now have the privilege of playing from the blue tees, roughly 20 yds or so further back. This translates to the approach shot you used to play. You used to be able to put a high-loft iron close to the pin. Now you get to deal with the flatter trajectory of the longer iron you need to get there.
If you don't want to upgrade to longer clubs, and you can definitely compete with the starter clubs, try a new approach to the course. Play to your short game by hitting to the spot where you can nail the pin from. This means you have to get up and down to save par but shoot par from the blue tees at BPB with standard clubs and you're doing something-it's tough. Take the par, the birdies will come.
If that doesn't suit you a driver upgrade will get you the length you need off the tee and a decent wedge with spin rating will make you real dangerous from 100 yds in. I carry 4 wedges, all with spin rating, and find it major fun to play the short game. (I've already conceded the fact that I suck, will always suck, and am not going to get all stressed because I CAN'T HIT THE FRIGGIN MARK!-LOL)
The Redwood putter forgives enough on the under 30 putts to make par a given and the occasional 3-4 under is enough to keep me coming back. Just like the real thing, there's always that moment of "perfection" on a shot or well-played hole that will keep you addicted.
Hit 'em long and few. GL
p.s., I spent a fraction of what a game off the shelf costs and have all I need for me.
