  Match ups in Coin room is so unfair. I’m a Legend, and I get match ups from hack, amateurs, tour pro and up to Legend. What is unfair, even hack, they get the same tee box. Why is that? thanks

  Are you playing in the lower coin rooms?  Supposedly the computer makes the best match possible, but they can only work with the others in the room.

  When I started (Hack) I always wondered why I was getting matched against Tour Pros or better?  Same problem, different side, I guess.

  You mean, unfair in your favour(?)

  You surely have better equipment than a low level player, giving you an edge in shot length. So, it's their decision (or fate) to play in those rooms w/o tiered tees - I heard that some rooms have them and some have not.

  Use Starters to compensate ;)

  It’s the only way I can win a game! ;)

  i do feel bad when this happens, but I try and compensate by offering as many tips as possible.  Most are appreciative (as I was if anyone offered same), some not, others forfeit.

  If only forfeiting was exclusive to lower tiers/level players....

  I play the Masters room, 10k bet, all I can afford, for now. I forfeit anyway, when I’m matched with an amateur or a hack.

  I don't think you need to forfeit.  If the other player wants a more even matchup, he or she can choose the lower rooms where tee box is based on your Tier.

  In the 10K coin room, they're going to get the hard tees either way.  You shouldn't have to sacrifice your coins (especially since it seems you have a limited amount) because the player has bitten off more than he or she can chew.  Ideally there would be a 3 Hole room somewhere in between 180 coins or 10k.  Something like 3k for lower players would be good.

  Also, while the odds are heavily in your favor, you can still get a decent match depending on what holes you get.  As long as you don't get one of the super long par 4s, An Amateur still has a shot.
