Yes but how are we supposed t ok upgrade without paying real money for them? Can't win tournaments because of people putting up low 50s every single round. How else are we new players supposed to take this?
Like every other new player who won't/can't spend real money here...Spend time instead earning 'free' credits. There are many here such as myself who spend time rather than cash and have all the equipment/balls they desire.
Not easy, not fun, but very do-able especially for those in the USA

+1 on what Thomas said regarding the credits.
For Jay, here is the deal, you have just started to play, and as pointed out, to score well you do need good clubs, but you also need experience and skill. It does take a long time to learn the game if you want to score well.
However, there can be differences, as I see someone, in one of the unlimited weeklies Jay played, scored a decent 28 as a hack, first day on WGT. Now that is some learning curve....I will call the person Punch ....but to score like that straight out is impressive, or is it just a pathetic loser/multi? The thrill of stealing candy from kids must excite such sad people. Unfortunately, it is often the norm rather than an exception.
But it is also demoralizing for genuine newbies like Jay, so my advice is earn the free credits, accrue them until you can get a good set of clubs, wedges and putter (don't hurry as lower clubs will not last), learn the game and the courses and above all, have fun.
To WGT, remove these people from the game and the leaderboards as soon as discovered, so genuine players can get a slice of a few credits.
But the game for many of us, is not the tournament score you card, but the fun you have playing it. You can have as much fun challenge yourself with starters kit.
