Re: Levels of Play

  First time post with a question for the group:

  Been playing for about 6 months and have advanced to level 76 Tour Pro.  Really enjoying the game.  In my most recent 3 hole match, the chat began with this question to me from a Master level player.

  "You've only bought one club, a driver?"

  I replied in the affirmative and inquired as to why he asked.

  "You're hitting from the ladies' tee...a big advantage when playing against those from the same level."

  He seemed half pissed and implied that I should buy more clubs.  He said that would move me further back in the tee box.  

  I thanked him for the info but I'm confused.  Am I supposed to spend money or otherwise obtain credits to purchase new equipment to remain in good stead.  I just want to have fun.  I'm not intending to take advantage of anyone. 

  Thoughts?

  He's implying that your a sandbagger. Thinks your staying at the front tees on purpose to win tournaments and credits.  Only you know if that's true or not.

  Don't listen to this:

  [...] implied that I should buy more clubs.  He said that would move me further back in the tee box. 

  No need to buy anything...

  There's no correlation between club purchase and tee position. The regular tees change with tier, and you move back as a Pro, Master, Legend. These changes are influenced mostly by ranked strokeplay scores, and on mobile also by level, because the mobile 3 hole and head-to-head games do not count, being practice.

  You also aren't a sandbagger AFAIS. Sticking to mostly Starter equipment doesn't give you any advantage. If you had the best gear available at a low tier, THIS might be sandbagging.

  So, keep on playing and having fun - this is the game's purpose!

  No such thing as Ladies Tees in this game. You have beginners tees, Pro Tees, Masters Tees and Championship Tees. The Ladies in this game have the same clubs as guys and can play pretty darn good
