  Set up MP Practice round, you select the tees/greens both will use.

  SweetiePie91:

  No because I'm not at that level so I can get those longhitting clubs yet! 

  The fact of the matter is your absolutely wrong and I'll try and explain the advantage you already have without any "long hitting clubs".  If you and I were to play a match the R9 driver I use without help from the wind or special ball avg. 275 yards. Your V2 Ping Raptor under the same condition avg. 247 which is a differance of 28 yards. Take a look at the first 5 holes from Royal St George as well as every other scorecard you happen to play before you start complaining. The average advantage you get on these particular 5 holes is 53.2 yards / hole, which is subtantially more than the 28 yards your worrying about. You want what every one else wants and theres no quick way to get it...  play more, putt more, and practice if you have too; level up and learn to better utilize what equipment becomes availible to you in the Pro Shop, if and when it becomes available. There happens to be an R9 driver you could get right now at L40 that avg. 8 yards farther than the one your using, if thats any help.

  Why should the playing field be level for you ???? If you don't like getting your butt kicked don't play them. If you can't putt thats your problem not WGT's.  Learn to putt and pay your dues like the rest of us have.

  lol this is funny comin from trumpy959 the guy i beat in a match play challenge game for only 200 credits couple weeks back when i was  a master.when i  reached the green in one shot on the par 4 th hole on standrews then won the hole to secure the match he gave out a tirade of abuse exactly about this.he sprayed me about the advantage i had on the tee that won me the match and then also called me a coward and a sandbagger in that too.long memories.u better listen to the old trumpmeister sweetie pie coz he really does not like the advantages lower level players get off the tee lol.must forget quick that he was at a lower level back in the day too and had the same advantages

  id rather play on the tourney greens, may it be TN or legend. thats just me. i do have the 'best' money can buy and i try to keep up. when one moves up to master gets a extra 10-20 more yards off the tees, and way different angles. not to mention the 7 strokes that you get for making master, yo-yoing until you hit the magic number of rounds so you either stay or drop your average(i think its 40)

  all i do here is have fun

  its just a game

  I'd love to come down to fast or slow greens when playing a lower tiered player.

  No one has mentioned that the slower greens would actually make it a little easier for Legends to get shots close to the hole.  Approach shots would stop much better.

  This is true... I shot my best round ever at Congressional on Slow greens, and have been playing a few CC tourneys on Fast greens.  The ball stops a lot lot better than on my usual TM tourney greens.
